Odion Ighalo: "Watford will move up table"

Watford striker Odion Ighalo says that the club will push higher up the Premier League table after they moved into the top half with victory over Norwich City.

Watford striker Odion Ighalo says that the team will begin to move up the table after the beat fellow promoted side Norwich City 2-0.

Ighalo struck in injury time after being denied by Norwich goalkeeper Declan Rudd on numerous occasions to add to Troy Deeney's earlier penalty and seal a second consecutive victory for the Hornets.

The Nigerian, who now has nine goals from 15 matches in his debut season in the Premier League, admitted that he was frustrated not to have added more to his tally, but insisted that Quique Flores's side are now looking up the table.

"We really deserved the win because we played really well from the first minute until the last," he told BBC Sport. "We are now going to push higher up the table but today is gone.

"I was a bit frustrated because I had a chance to score two or three goals, but that is football. The important thing is the team performance. We are very happy with the three points and we want to keep going."

The victory moved Watford up to ninth in the table ahead of their trip to face relegation strugglers Sunderland next weekend.
