Odion Ighalo and Victor Moses did put up sterling performances for their respective clubs during the weekend.
The duo lent credence to their call up by Coach Sunday Oliseh for next month's friendlies against the Democratic Republic of Congo and Cameroun in Belgium as they etched their names on the score sheet for their respectively clubs in the English Premiership fixtures.
Ighalo scored a brace in the first 28 minutes that gave Watford victory at Newcastle while Moses extended West Ham's giant killer instinct, scoring in the sixth minute in Manchester City's 1-2 first defeat of the season.

Mourinho, who avoided losing three consecutive matches for the first time in his career with the 2-0 victory over the Gunners, sees his Chelsea side move just three points off Arsenal that sit in fourth place.
Saido Berahino scored for the winner for West Brom in their derby with Aston Villa less than three weeks after he stated he would never play for Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace again.
The 22-year-old made that declaration during a Twitter rant after a deadline-day move to Tottenham failed to materialise.
