Former Super Eagles forward, Odion Ighalo, scored twice yesterday as Al Shabab defeated Damak 2-1 to continue their push for a seventh Saudi Professional Football League title.
Ighalo, 31, who switched to the Saudi league after completing his loan spell at Manchester United in January has now scored three goal and provided one assist in five league appearances for the Lions as Al Shabab are called by their fans.
The former Watford front man put Al Shabab ahead in the 12th minute after he was set up by Abdullah Al Zoari.
The visitors rallied back courtesy of Emilio Zelaya’s 20 minutes strike but Ighalo netted the winning goal six minutes before the break.
