Hegerberg claims all-time Champions League goalscoring record

Lyon star Ada Hegerberg has become the all-time top scorer in the Women's Champions League after scoring her 52nd goal in the competition.

The 24-year-old striker found the net just 12 minutes into the second-leg of their last-16 tie against Fortuna Hjorring on Wednesday to break the record.

The Norway international then moved further ahead at the top of the chart by netting for the 53rd time early in the second half.

It has taken Hegerberg just 50 games to overtake Anja Mittag's record of 51 Champions League goals, having matched the former Paris Saint-Germain and Wolfsburg forward in the first-leg of the tie with a double in the 4-0 victory.
