He has not scored since he picked up an injury at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, but Odion Ighalo showed he still got his scoring boots as he scored the winner in Shanghai Shenhua victory over Dalian Yifang.
The 30-year-old who retired from international football after the biennial tournament in Egypt has not scored a goal for his club since May.
However, he ended his drought by finishing off Cao Yunding’s cross and that ensured Shanghai Shenhua took all the three points.
