Odion Ighalo Scores First Premier League Goal Against Everton

Odion Ighalo got his first goal in the English Premiership as Watford played a 2-2 draw against Everton at the Goodison Park.

The Nigerian replaced Jose Manuel Jurado in the 74th minutes of the game and made his impact felt nine minutes later after making a mess of the Toffees defence to put his side in the lead after Ross Barkley leveled Miguel Layun's opener.

He shimmied inside to leave Jagielka and Chelsea target John Stones in his wake before finishing calmly.


But three minutes later, the Watford backline was undone, as Kone coolly slid a shot past Gomes on the angle to cap a thrilling first-day spectacle.

This will definitely be good news for Super Eagles head coach, Sunday Oliseh who hopes to lead Nigeria to victory against Tanzania in September’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
