Odion Ighalo on Sunday, 26 February, scored four goals for Al-Hilal in their massive 7-0 win over Al-Duhail to reach the final of the Asian Champions League in stunning fashion.

The Nigerian spent one season at Old Trafford scoring some incredible goals before he left the Premier League.

In the game against Al-Duhail, Ighalo scored two goals in the first ten minutes of the encounter.

Odion Ighalo hails Ronaldo

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo eulogized Cristiano Ronaldo, backing the Portuguese superstar to excel in Saudi Arabia.

Ronaldo has had a disappointing start to life in the gulf state following his blockbuster move to the Middle East, blanking in his opening two competitive games for Al-Nassr.

His recent no-show against Al-Ittihad resulted in a disappointing semifinal exit from the Saudi Super Cup.

This has drawn criticism from far and near with many suggesting Al-Nassr made the wrong choice of parting with Vincent Aboubakar to accommodate the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

However, former United striker Odion Ighalo believes Ronaldo will come good in his new adventure.
