'It's like the good old days!' - Odion Ighalo delights Watford fans following Nigeria brace

Watford fans were handed a trip down memory lane after Odion Ighalo showed the world that he's still got it.

The 30-year-old was taking part in Nigeria's African Cup of Nations round of 16 tie with Cameroon - a contest which turned into a real thriller.

The Super Eagles came away with a 3-2 victory after an inspired performance from the former Watford man.

Ighalo got two goals either side of half-time before teeing up Arsenal man Alex Iwobi to secure Nigeria's passage into the quarter finals.

After moving to China he may be something of a forgotten figure in the UK, but performances like this will go a long way towards reminding the world of what he's capable of.
