Malawian striker Tabitha Chawinga was a constant threat on Wednesday night as Paris Saint Germain booted Manchester United out of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

Chawinga who also scored in the 1-1 draw in first leg of the tie in Manchester last week, set up two goals for her side as they won 3-1 on the night

On Wednesday, the two teams played their second leg at the Parc des Princes stadium in France and PSG came with an early goal in the first half that was scored by Lieke Martens after Chawinga’s shot was saved by goalkeeper Mary Earps.

Manchester United equalised through Lisa Naalsund before Martens scored another goal in the second half assisted by Chawinga.

PSG finished on a good note as they scored a third goal through Sandy Baltimore.

PSG are through to the group stages and they will know their opponents after the Champions league draw takes place on Friday, 20 October.
