Ighalo nets Four Goals

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how 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.

Since making a return back to the Saudi Arabian League, Ighalo has been in fine form for his side in which some Manchester United fans have even been clamoring for his return.

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

Al-Hilal started the match impressively and waited for only two minutes before Ighalo opened the scoring and the Nigerian got his brace in the 10th minute of the encounter.
