Watford striker, Odion Ighalo, has stormed back to the Premier League team of the week, following his superlative display in their 2-0 win over Stoke City at the weekend.
Ighalo’s feat was enough to earn them a place in the side alongside the others in the opinion of BBC pundit, Garth Crooks.
Crooks said: “Don’t you just love to see a strike partnership? They are so rare these days. Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney have worked out that they might not be the best individual strikers in the league but as a double act they can be just as effective as a Sergio Aguero or a Daniel Sturridge.
“I wanted to pick Deeney but Ighalo was too impressive. His flick around the corner for Deeney to score his first Premier League goal was just wonderful. Not satisfied with that Ighalo then stole the ball from Marc Wilson to feed Almen Abdi, who finished like his life depended on it. It was a brilliant, unselfish all round display.”
The full team includes Petr Cech (Arsenal), Kyle Walker (Tottenham), Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal), James Tomkins (West Ham), Aaron Cresswell (West Ham), Andre Ayew (Swansea), Mesut Ozil (Arsenal), Dimitri Payet (West Ham), Jamie Vardy (Leicester), Odion Ighalo (Watford), Harry Kane (Tottenham).
