Ighalo eyes successive wins

ODION Ighalo believes Watford's weekend win against Swansea City can kickstart their campaign after a stuttering start to life in the Premier League.   
The Nigeria international, who scored the only goal of the game against the Swans, was impressed by his sides ability to see the game through after Valon Behrami's sending off in the 68th minute and believes they should target another three points this weekend when they face a struggling Newcastle side at St James' Park.
"The three points we got in our last game was really good for us," the 26-year told the club's official website.
"We have been doing well as a team but we were not scoring enough and so we weren't winning games.
"But that win against Swansea will give us a boost and it is good for our confidence ahead of the next game.
"With 10 men against Swansea, we still fought hard and kept the win and I'm so happy we have showed that much composure and it is good for the team's confidence."
Ighalo has scored 22 goals for Watford in 40 appearances since joining the club from Italian side Udinese on 29 July 2014.
