Weeks
after netting a brace against Liverpool to become Watford’s highest
goal scorer ever in English Premier League, Nigeria and Watford forward
Odion Ighalo became the first Watford player ever to score in six
straight top-flight games when he scored in team’s 1-2 defeat to
Totteham Hotspur in the last game of the first half of the season.
The 26-year-old scored 14 times in 19 premier league appearances creating two assists, no record of penalty kicks in his goals.
Ighalo
joined Watford on a season-long loan deal from Udinese, on 29 July 2014
and was later signed on a permanent move in October 2014 after putting
up an impressive display during his loan spell.
Three
months after making his switch permanent to Watford, he scored four
second half goals and was voted Man of the match in a 7–2 home routing
of Blackpool, who led 0–2 at half time; he took his league tally to 14
on 10 February 2015 to help his team promote to the EPL and he has
become a force to reckon with in the Epl scoring week in week out.
Ighalo
scored in his Premier League debut on 8 August 2015 coming in as a
substitute to replace José Manuel Jurado 16 minutes from time and
putting the visitors ahead 2–1 in an eventual 2–2 draw away against
Everton for the season opener.He netted twice in a 3–0 home win over
Liverpool and against Chelsea on boxing day scored his thirteenth goal
of the season, becoming the Hornets highest goal scorer in the
competition after just 18 matches.
The
Nigeria forward scored 30 league goals in 2015, more than any other
player in England’s top four leagues and according to SQUAWKA comparison
matrix Ighalo has a better shot accuracy ahead of Barcelona’s Lionel
Messi and C. Ronaldo
