Odion Ighalo scored the second goal for Watford, as they held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The goal was his 13th and it means he needs to score three more times, to equal the highest number of goals scored by a Nigerian in the English Premier League.
Yakubu Aiyegbeni, who played for Portsmouth, Everton and Middlesbrough in England, holds the record. The former Super Eagles striker netted 16 times for Pompey in the 2003/2004 campaign.
Osaze Odemwingie is in second goal, with 15 goals for West Brom in the 2010/2011 season.
Ighalo scored 20 times last term, as he helped the Hornets secure promotion to the top-flight.
