• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  He has seen Chawinga make history by becoming the first player to register 19 goals across a single NWSL season. That mark was hit, passing former Chicago Red Stars and current Chelsea forward Sam Kerr along the way, when firing home a spectacular strike from distance against Bay FC.

• WHAT CHAWINGA SAID

  Malawi international Chawinga has said of rewriting the history books: “[It] means a lot to me because it's a very difficult league, but I try my best and I need to work hard to score goals. So, I thank my team-mates, and I thank God for giving me this chance to be here in the USA (and) play over here.”
