Shaw’s 89th-minute winner makes her Man City’s top-scoring player in a single season

Khadija Shaw’s 89th-moment winner in Manchester City’s victory over Brighton helps make her the club’s best-scoring player in a time. 

Shaw, who is the present WSL top-scorer with 15 ambitions, netted a brace to set City degree on points with next-put rivals Manchester United, who suffered a loss to Chelsea previously in the working day. 

The Jamaican has now scored 26 goals in 22 games this season, a new file for Manchester Metropolis. 

The history was earlier held by Nikita Parris, who scored 24 plans in the 2018/19 season. 

Town are now unbeaten in 13 WSL online games and the late aim could certainly raise the self-assurance of Gareth Taylor’s facet, who will face the difficult process of actively playing Chelsea in two weeks’ time. 

On becoming a member of the club in 2021, Shaw typically noticed the bench guiding former England global Ellen White. But given that White’s retirement, Shaw has blossomed into City’s main objective scoring threat. 

“Obviously Ellen was an outstanding personality, I’ve absolutely realized a lot and taken parts of her game,” explained Shaw in a past job interview. 

“I have generally been scoring objectives, but I’ve normally tried using to stay grounded. Coming into this year, I have tried using to include my strengths to the Town way of taking part in.

“It truly is tricky, hard, we want to exhibit our class. The crew appear to me to score ambitions, and it is really critical to do it in online games.”

Up upcoming, Manchester City will perform Aston Villa in the quarter-ultimate of the FA Cup just before continuing their WSL campaign from league leaders Chelsea.
