156

In a Saudi Arabian League encounter on Thursday, Al Hilal thrashed 10-man Al Nassr 4-0, with Odion Ighalo grabbing a goal and providing an assist.

The number 9 had a superb left foot finish and an assist in Al Hilal’s convincing victory away from home.

After Matheus Pereira broke the deadline for the visitors in the 16th minute, Ighalo turned provider for Salem Al-Dawsari in extending Al Hilal’s lead in the 34th minute.

Al-Dawsari made it 3-0 before the break, and things got considerably worse for the hosts when Funes Mori, a former Everton defender, was sent off in the 63rd minute.

Ighalo then completed the rout for Al Hilal, netting the fourth goal for his side 15 minutes into stoppage time, before being replaced by Saleh Al-Shehri six minutes from time.

Al Hilal has now defeated Al Nassr three times this season, with Ighalo scoring twice, the first of which came last month in the Saudi Kings Cup, when they came back from a goal down to win 2-1.

The 32-year-old has five goals in six outings for the club after signing from Al Shabab in January.
