Mikel Obi and Odion Ighalo rewrite the record books
It was a good weekend for Nigeria in the English Premier League as Super Eagles duo of Mikel Obi and Odion Ighalo attained new heights with their respective clubs. Odion Ighalo struck in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea to become the first ever Watford player to score in five consecutive English topflight games.
Mikel Obi entered the record books in the same game when he came off the bench in the 46th minute to make his 350th appearance in blue, the 21st player to do so. Also, the feat makes him the club’s third-highest overseas appearance maker since his move from Lyn Oslo in 2006.
