Odion Ighalo could again be the striker to stop at the AFCON when he grabbed the winning goal for Al Shabab to beat Al Ahli 4-3 in a thrilling Saudi Arabian league clash tonight.
Ighalo, who was top scorer at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt, stayed top of the goals chart with 11 goals.
The 32-yer-old striker proved to be the difference when he struck in the 73rd minute to make it 4-3 in favour of his club.
Al Shabab remain second on the table with 31 points from 15 matches, a point behind leaders Al Ittihad.
They are gunning to reclaim the championship, which they last won in the 2011/2012 season.
They were runners-up last season.
