Striker – Odion Ighalo – Watford
All the talk ahead of the season was about whether Troy Deeney could cut it in the Premier League.
However, at the minute it’s Odion Ighalo who is scoring the goals for Watford and he scored a match-winning brace against Newcastle United on Saturday to dump more misery on the Magpies.
Two goals in the 2-1 away win gives the Hornets a solid start to life in the Premier League following their 1-0 home win against Swansea City last weekend.
Ighalo not the only striker to net a brace this weekend.
Striker – Graziano Pelle – Southampton
Graziano Pelle didn’t deserve to be on the losing side yesterday afternoon.
The Italian was outstanding in the first-half for Southampton, tormenting Daley Blind for nearly the whole half.
Sadly for him though he was on the end of a defeat and his two goals weren’t enough for the Saints to pick up a win at home.
His rugby celebration was also clever. We liked it.
Striker – Anthony Martial – Manchester United
The teenager who keeps on giving.
Anthony Martial has now netted three goals in just two Premier League games, and his match-winning brace against Southampton on Sunday was easily enough to get him into the team.
Both were simple finishes for the Frenchman, but he won’t care, he shown strikers instinct to be in the right place at the right time.
Martial could be a real threat for United for years to come.
So there is our 11.
What would yours be?
