Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, is currently leading the race to become the highest goalscorer at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations.

Ighalo netted a brace in Nigeria’s 3-2 win over Cameroon on Saturday, to take his tally to three goals so far.

The Shanghai Shenhua frontman had earlier found the back of the net, in a 1-0 win over Burundi during the group stages.

He is tied with Senegal’s Sadio Mane, who has also scored three times so far.
