Watford Striker Odion Ighalo Is The Leading Scorer In England In 2015

Statistically, Odion Ighalo is the top scorer in England in the top four divisions since the start of this year after he netted his 15th goal in 2015 against Middlesbrough on Easter Monday.

The Super Eagles attacker’s 65th minute goal at Vicarage Road Stadium all but secured the three points for The Hornets after strike partner Troy Deeney gave the home team a first half lead.

Ighalo’s spectacular strike against Middlesbrough has been tipped as a contender for goal of the season award.

In his last nine matches in the Championship, the 25 - year - old has only failed to hit the back of the net in three games, against  Ipswich Town, Fulham and Norwich City.

The former Lyn Oslo, Granada and Udinese man has notched up 19 goals in the second - tier so far this season.
