WATCH: United States Midfielder Carli Lloyd Scores A Peach Of A Strike Against Switzerland

The United States Women's National Team thrashed Switzerland 5-1 a couple of days back and the game featured an absolute thunderous strike from midfielder Carli Lloyd.

Last year's FIFA Women's Player Of The Year bagged a brace as the home side ran riot. But her first goal was an absolute screamer and showcased just why she is widely considered to be the very best female footballer on the planet.

With her side 1-0 down, the Houston Dash midfielder took it upon herself to get her side back on level terms. Following a fluid passing move, the two-time Olympic Gold medalist let rip with a thumping strike that flew into the top corner.

"IT'S HIT WITH NO REGARDS TO HUMANITY"!

Lloyd has scored over 90 goals for her country but the net-buster she produced in Minneapolis a few days back is undoubtedly one of the greatest goals she has ever scored.

Take a bow, Carli.
