Addo and Chawinga win treble in China as Jiangsu Suning lift Women's Super League title

Ghana's Elizabeth Addo scored a brace and Malawi's Tabitha Chawinga netted once as Jiangsu Suning defeated Guangdong 5-1 in a Chinese Women's Super League encounter on Wednesday.

The win at Wutaishan County Stadium means Jiangsu are Chinese champions for the first time since 2009 with two games to spare.

Jiangsu crushed Changchun 5-1 at the Development Area Stadium last Sunday and they were aiming to reclaim the league diadem with a back-to-back win away from home in Wuhua.

Tang Jiali opened the scoring for the visitors after just 12 minutes into the encounter before Chawinga doubled the lead six minutes later and Addo scored the third in the 32nd minute.
