Less than a week after scoring a hat-trick in a French Cup quarterfinal match, Alex Morgan scored two goals against Albi in the Division 1 Féminine.

The American forward is off to a great start as she returns from a rough patch that saw her get limited minutes for Lyon. She’s scored five goals in her last two appearances and appears to be in fantastic form.

Morgan does well to score both goals, as she finds the space needed to strike and lofts a nice goal over the head of the goalkeeper for the first.

Lyon and the Champions League

Lyon crushed Albi 5-0, on Saturday, as the club extended their lead on Paris Saint-Germain to seven points in the league table. They are chasing their 15th title in the Division 1 Féminine.

Six matches remain in Division 1 Féminine for Lyon, and Morgan still has time to produce similar performances like Saturday. With a UEFA Champions League match upcoming, the forward has a big opportunity to continue her offensive production on the big stage.

The match against Wolfsburg will take place on Thursday, with American Carli Lloyd also participating in the tournament with her new club Manchester City. They face Fortuna Hjorring from Denmark on Thursday as well.

At the pace Morgan is on, she could move her way up in the leading scorer race as she is currently just outside the top 15. Her teammate, Eugénie Le Sommer, currently leads the league with 15 goals. Ada Hegerberg and Camille Abily are also high atop the leaderboard with 14 and 10 goals respectively.

Playing with players like Le Sommer and Abily will most certainly help Morgan’s game moving forward. They are two of the top offensive players in the world and if players like Morgan continue to move overseas, then the United States Women’s National Team could have a good balance of players playing for domestic and international clubs.
