Odion Ighalo made a winning debut in the Saudi Pro League as Al Shabab hammered Al Raed on Saturday.
The encounter was Ighalo’s first outing since December 2 when he came off the bench to make his Champions League debut as a 90th-minute substitute in Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The ex-Nigeria striker was introduced in the 84th minute after Cristian Guanca's brace and lone goals from Ever Banega and Fabio Martins had secured maximum points for the hosts at the King Fahd Stadium.
Saturday's win stretched Al Shabab’s lead at the top of the Pro League table to 35 points after 17 games.
