Watford stuns Arsenal as Ighalo propels Watford to beat Arsenal

True to Arsene Wenger’s pre-match prediction, Super Eagles and Watford of England forward, Odion Ighalo was a handful when Arsenal hosted the Hornets in an FA Cup tie at the Emirates yesterday.

 Ighalo ended a month-long goals drought in style as he struck to propel Watford to a first-ever Wembley FA Cup semi-final at the expense of cup holders Arsenal.

 However, coach Samson Siasia and Nigerian fans will be hoping Ighalo is not seriously injured ahead of crucial AFCON qualifiers against Egypt as he was forced to limp out of the game before the end.

The injury was not ascertained but it was enough to give Nigerian coach Samson Siasia jitters as he hopes to build his attack around the Watford striker as Nigeria hosts Egypt on March 25 for the African Cup of Nations qualifer.
