Top 5: Premier League Players of the Week

1. Odion Ighalo (Watford)

Ighalo now has 12 Premier League goals this term

The Premier League’s fourth top goalscorer struck either side of half time to help Watford overcome Liverpool 3-0 at Vicarage Road.

Scoring in his fourth consecutive game, Ighalo was played through by Troy Deeney before shrugging off Martin Skrtel and firing across goal to put the Hornets two goals up.

The Nigeria international then netted his second goal of the game with five minutes to go, finishing a wonderful counter-attack as he headed home Valon Behrami’s cross.

The 26-year-old has now scored 32 times in just 52 Watford games since signing in July 2014, meaning Quique Sanchez Flores will be doing everything to shirk off apparent interest from Manchester United when the window opens.
