The Nigerian scored his 10th goal of the season to seal the victory, but Allardyce believes that his side need to emulate the defensive stability that Watford displayed at the Stadium of Light.
The 61-year-old told reporters: "We need to be more like Watford. They can hang on to what they've got and they've got two very good strikers who are the main reason Watford are where they are in the table.
"They keep getting points on the board, whether that be a draw or a win. We can't even get those draws at the minute.
"We knew how difficult it would be to get points off Watford, in the end we created enough chances to get points of them and failed."
