Alex Morgan may have just made her way to the top of the Olympics’ Most Loved Women list with her superb overtime play last night, and Twitter is buzzing about it.

Morgan, who hasn’t been playing as well as expected during the games, blew fans away with a kick that went soaring over Canadian goalie Erin McLeod’s head, earning the U.S. the top position in a 4-3 game and securing a match against Japan later this week.
