Ighalo goal scoring instincts delights Flores

By Our Reporter
QUIQUE Sanchez Flores praised Odion Ighalo's goalscoring instincts after the Super Eagles ace late winner at Nottingham Forest.
The Spaniard turned to his top scorer with the fourth-round FA Cup tie drifting towards a goalless draw, and the substitute came up trumps with an 89th-minute strike after Kelvin Wilson failed to clear.
Ighalo now has 15 goals this season and his manager told SkySport: "With Ighalo it looks easier to score; when Ighalo is on the pitch it is like the opportunity to score is easier."But it was also difficult to score. Nottingham Forest defended deep for a long time during the match, it was difficult to find the space.
"We tried, we crossed a lot, we played football, go inside the box a lot of times but finally Ighalo scored.
"In the last 20 minutes we thought that with Ighalo and Jose Manuel Jurado we can maybe get one step more because they were the most offensive players we  had on the bench."
