Barbra Banda bags hat-trick as Shanghai Shengli thrash Hebei China Fortune

Barbra Banda bagged her second hat-trick of the season in Shanghai Shengli's 7-0 victory over Hebei China Fortune in a Chinese Women's Super League encounter on Tuesday.

The Zambian star and her Chinese side went into the game on the back of suffering their first defeat of the season at the hands of Wuhan in a disappointing 3-0 loss on Saturday.

This time, the 20-year-old striker put up an outstanding display to ensure Shanghai bounced back to winning ways against Hebei as they aimed to reclaim the top of the summit.

Tang Jiali opened the scoring for Shanghai after just nine minutes of the encounter before Banda doubled the lead four minutes later.
