Report has shown that, Odion Ighalo has benched Cristiano Ronaldo in the goals race in Saudi Arabia after he scored a brace to help Al Hilal thump Al Taawon 4-0 on Saturday.
The Nigerian striker scored the opening goal in the 32nd minute and then made it 2-0 in the 45th minute.
Odion Ighalo scored 11 goals in 15 games ahead of Al Nassr’s Ronaldo, who has netted eight times in top scorer race.
Even though, the Brazilian duo of Anderson Conceicao Talisca and Carlos Alberto leads the way with 13 goals each.
Ighalo became the Goal King of Saudi Arabia last season with 20 goals, dedicating his latest goals to his mother as a birthday gift.
He expressed on his Instagram, “That was for you MAMA. Happy birthday to my sweet mother,”
The sliding Foxes, who ended with 10 men following Wout Faes’ late dismissal for a second booking, now just sit one point outside the relegation zone.
