Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo loses dad.

The striker took to his social media to announce the death of his dad; 'RIP Daddy' he wrote alongside a black blank photo.

 

According to the striker, the dad died while he was sleeping in the early hours of Monday, April 25.  Ighalo announced the death just hours after he played for Watford in their FA Cup semi-final 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Wembley.

Yannick Bolasie and Connor Wickham secured the 2-1 victory over Watford at Wembley on Sunday, April 24.

Bolasie headed in Yohan Cabaye's corner to put Palace in front after six minutes and they should have built on their advantage before halftime against a lacklustre Watford.

 

Troy Deeney sparked the semi-final into life with Watford's equaliser nine minutes after halftime but they were only level for seven minutes.

Wickham stretched to meet a cross from Pape Souare and his header flew beyond the reach of flat-footed Watford keeper Costel Pantilimon who was slow to react.
