Dubbed ‘Lady Messi’ by her fans, the forward hit the second goal in Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-0 win over Swedish side Linkoping FC in the women’s edition of the tournament.

Recovering the ball from an opposition defender, Wang let fly from outside the area and wrong-footed the goalkeeper with the aid of a massive deflection from a defender.
