Published: December 20, 2015
Odion Ighalo notched a brace as Watford thrashed Liverpool 3-0 at Vicarage Road on Sunday in the Premier League.
The in-form Nigeria international doubled the Hornets advantage in the 15th minute before grabbing his 12th goal of the season five minutes from time to help guide his side to seventh in the standings.
For his first goal, Ighalo showed great strength to hold off Skrtel before finding the bottom corner, while he made sure the maximum points were in the bag after heading home a cross from Behrami.
The 26 - year - old’s goalscoring run in the Premier League has extended to four matches, having registered in previous games against Aston Villa, Norwich City and Sunderland.
Ighalo struck four times in a row last season in the Championship, a run that started against Cardiff City on December 28, 2014 and ended when he netted a double brace against Blackpool on January 24, 2015.
