On fire! Ighalo scores four to inspire Changchun Yatai away win

Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo found the back of the net four times to spur Changchun Yatai to a 5-2 victory in a Chinese Super League encounter Guizhou Hengfeng on Saturday.

It was a bounce back for Ighalo, who has failed to score in three consecutive games; and his efforts earned his side their second win of the league season.

The 29 year old opened the scoring in the 24th minute from the penalty spot, but the lead did not last long as Guizhou Hengfeng’s Wei Du levelled nine minutes later.

Fan Wang scored for the home side on the hour mark but Ighalo score his third of the day in the 86th minute.

The Eagles forward then bagged his fourth goal of the game in added time to seal the win for Changchun Yatai, who are now 10th in the League table with eight points from seven games.
