Red hot Nigerian striker, Odion Ighalo, fired his 14th goal of the season in Watford’s 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at the Vicarage Road on Monday.
For the sixth Premier League game in a row, Ighalo found the net, stabbing low under Hugo Lloris after he had outmuscled Eric Dier in the area.
In total, Ighalo has scored 30 league goals in 2015, more than any other player in England’s top four divisions.
Craig Cathcart was dispossessed on halfway and Harry Kane set Erik Lamela away.
The Argentinian ran at the Hornets’ backline before picking out the far corner with a disguised finish that went through Miguel Britos’s legs.
Watford were reduced to 10 men in the 62nd minute as Nathan Ake saw red for a high challenge on Erik Lamela that Anthony Taylor deemed as dangerous.
That decision saw the temperature level of the match raised, but still there was little being created in either penalty area.
Tottenham Hotspur substitute, Son Heung-Min, scored an 89th-minute winner to snatch all three points against 10-man Watford.
Spurs seemed comfortable having taken the lead but they were pegged back five minutes before the interval and it was a familiar name on the scoresheet.
