Watford Marksman Odion Ighalo Set To Beat Personal Scoring Record In A Single Season

Published: February 25, 2015

Former Nigeria youth international Odion Ighalo is the leading marksman in the top four divisions in England in 2015.

His brace in Watford’s 3 - 0 defeat of Rotherham United on Tuesday night took his tally for 2015 to 13, and 17 goals cumulatively since the start of the 2014 - 2015 campaign.

With 13 matches to go before the end the regular season, everything indicates that the ex Lyn Oslo and Udinese man will break his personal record of 17 goals in a single season.

Odion Ighalo set the benchmark during the 2009 - 2010 season while playing for Granada, who were then in the third - tier of Spanish football.

Against Rotherham United yesterday, the 25 - year - old first scored in the 18th minute before adding a second 11 minutes after the interval.
