Lyon striker and first ever female Ballon d'Or winner Ada Hegerberg has been named 2019 BBC Women's Footballer of the Year. It is the second time in her illustrious career that she has won the accolade, after previously doing so in 2017.
Wolfsburg's Danish forward Pernile Harder finished second, while Australian star Sam Kerr was third. USA midfielder Lindsey Horan and Hegerberg's Lyon teammate and Japan captain Saki Kumagai had also been shortlisted for the annual individual prize.
Voting on the BBC award had actually already closed before Hegerberg scored a 16-minute hat-trick in the Women's Champions League final as Lyon thrashed Barcelona in Budapest last weekend, a feat that further underlined her status as the top female player on the planet.
