MILAN, Italy (AFP)—The United States of America (USA) beat defending champions Canada 2-1 in overtime to win the Olympic women’s ice hockey gold medal thanks to Megan Keller’s spectacular winner on Thursday.

It was the first time the Americans have won the women’s title since the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.

Keller skilfully deked a Canadian defender and beat goaltender Ann-Renee Desbiens just over four minutes into overtime.

Her goal sparked huge celebrations on the Team USA bench and among the thousands of US fans in the Santagiulia Arena in Milan.
