Tabitha Chawinga: Malawi striker retains Chinese Women's Super League top-scorer award

Jiangsu Suning striker Tabitha Chawinga has retained the Chinese Women's Super League top-scorer prize for the 2019 season.

The 21-year-old forward had joined the Chinese outfit from Sweden side Kvarnsveden in January 2018 after finishing as the 2017 Swedish Damallsvenskan top-scorer, netting 25 goals.

In her debut season in China, the Malawi international was a huge bargain as she scored 17 goals to help Jiangsu finish as runners-up behind the then Asisat Oshoala's Dalian Quanjian in 2018.

This term, she scored 12 goals in 14 games - four ahead of closest challengers and teammate Tang Jiali to retain the award as she led Jiangsu to their first league crown since 2009, and their third title in history.
