Odion Ighalo’s Watford have secured a return to the Premier League, eight years after they were relegated.
The club got a 2-0 win over Brighton on Saturday with Ighalo playing while their close rivals faltered and they thus earned their place with the big boys in the EPL.
Fourth-placed Norwich drew 1-1 with Rotherham while third-placed Middlesbrough, Kenneth Omeruo’s club, fell to a 4-3 defeat to Fulham.
The Championship leaders could secure the title if second-placed Bournemouth lose to Bolton on Monday.
Ighalo has had a very successful season with Watford where he has scored 20 goals so far.
His hot form with the Championship side earned him a call up to the Super Eagles during the two friendly matches in March against Uganda and South Africa.
