Odion Ighalo Nets 13th Premier League Goal

Free scoring Odion Ighalo is close to equaling the record of Yakubu Aiyegbeni in the EPL. Odion scored his sixth goal in five consecutive Premier League matches.

Odion Ighalo netted his 13th goal for English Premier League side Watford in a 2-2 draw at Chelsea on Boxing Day.

Ighalo fired home in the 56th minute off a massive deflection by his marker Gary Cahill. Watford remain in seventh place on the table with 29 points from 18 matches on the back of this draw at Stamford Bridge.


Yakubu Aiyegbeni is the only Nigerian that has scored up to 16 goals in a season in the Premier League. Osaze Odemwingie follows him closely with 15 goals in a season, with only 18 games played Odion Ighalo will certainly break Yakubu's EPL goal record. Now i know why Kanu labelled him "Goal Machine".
