AFCON 2019 Goal King Odion Ighalo Back On The Goal Trail
Published: October 20, 2019
Odion Ighalo broke his mini goal-drought with a superb strike for Shanghai Shenhua in their 2-1 Chinese Super League win over Daliang Yifang at the Hongkou Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The ex-Super Eagle was on hand to blast home from a Cao Yunding's cross in the 38th minute, thus completing a brilliant first half comeback after his team had fallen behind to a Yannick Carrasco first minute goal.
It was his first for the club since May as he has gone four league games without finding the back of the net.
The AFCON 2019 goal king has now tallied eight goals in just 13 league games for Choi Kang-hee's side this season and is the team's third highest goalscorer.
Last season saw the former Watford marksman set a personal best goal-tally for a league season, scoring 21 times in 28 league outings for Changchun Yatai and it would take a lot more strikes to better than mark.
Shaghai are placed eleventh on the sixteen-team CSL table with 30 points and it's ninth-place Chongching Lifan who they face next on Friday 25th.
