MANCHESTER, United Kingdom — Jamaican striker Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw delivered a legendary performance on Sunday, netting four spectacular goals in Manchester City’s dominant 6-1 victory over Aston Villa. This remarkable achievement not only secured her team a decisive six-point advantage in the Women’s Super League standings but also marked a historic personal milestone as she scored her 100th goal for the club.
The match will be remembered as Shaw’s masterpiece, with BBC Sport reporting she was ‘easily the best player on the pitch.’ Her opening strike represented the landmark 100th goal, making her the first Manchester City women’s player to reach this extraordinary benchmark during the club’s professional era. Demonstrating relentless offensive prowess, Shaw proceeded to add three more goals to complete her quadruple feat.
The victory was further bolstered by contributions from Vivianne Miedema and Aoba Fujino, who each added a goal to complete the commanding scoreline. Shaw’s incredible scoring ratio now stands at 103 goals in just 120 appearances for Manchester City, a statistic described as ‘astonishing’ by match commentators.
Following the match, Manchester City’s official social media channels celebrated their star player with a post captioned ‘She did that!’ accompanied by recognition as player of the match. This decisive victory positions Manchester City firmly ahead of defending WSL champions Chelsea as the season progresses, establishing them as clear title contenders.
