‘Bunny’ Shaw bags brace in Man City win over London City in WSL

Manchester City delivered a commanding performance in the Women’s Super League (WSL) on Sunday, securing a 4-1 victory against the London City Lionesses. Jamaican international Khadija “Bunny” Shaw was the standout player, netting two crucial goals from the penalty spot in the second half. This win propelled Manchester City to third place in the league standings, with nine points from four games, trailing behind Manchester United and Chelsea, who have 10 and 12 points, respectively. Shaw’s brace brought her season tally to three goals, placing her among the top three goal scorers in the WSL. The match began with Manchester City taking an early lead, as Vivianne Miedema headed in a cross from Kerstin Casparij in the 11th minute. Laura Blindkilde Brown extended the lead just three minutes later with a precise low shot through a crowded box. London City managed to pull one back in the 19th minute, thanks to a clinical finish by Nikita Parris following a defensive lapse. However, Shaw’s composure from the penalty spot in the 69th and 89th minutes, following fouls by Saki Kumagai and Wassa Sangare, sealed the victory for Manchester City.
