Ighalo boosts Al Shabab's Saudi Pro League title hopes with goal and assist vs Al Ain

The former Nigeria striker played an important role in front of goal as the White Lions revived their push for the top-flight glory

Odion Ighalo scored a goal and provided an assist as Al Shabab boosted their Saudi Pro League title hopes with an emphatic 5-1 home win over Al Shabab.

The former Manchester United star who scored a brace in his team's 4-3 loss to Al Ittifaq last Friday, continued with his goalscoring contributions on Wednesday as the hosts ended their back-to-back losses in the league.

Brazil's Seba opened the scoring for Al Shabab in the 36th minute and Ighalo doubled the lead with his effort in the 41st minute, thanks to an assist from Argentina's Cristian Guanca.
