Manchester City's Khadija Shaw showcased her scoring prowess once again as she led her team to a 5-0 victory over West Ham United in the Women's Super League match at the Manchester City Academy Stadium.
Shaw's impressive performance saw her achieve several milestones during the game. She scored two goals, bringing her total for the season to 21, surpassing her previous record of 20 goals in a single campaign. With three matches remaining, Shaw is on track to break the all-time record of 22 goals in a season.
In addition to her season tally, Shaw also reached the milestone of 50 career goals in the Women's Super League, accomplishing this feat in just 57 appearances. She became only the second non-European player after Sam Kerr to achieve this milestone.
Shaw's exceptional form extends beyond domestic competition, as she recently became Manchester City's all-time leading goalscorer in all competitions. With 72 goals in 83 appearances for the club, Shaw has been a prolific striker since joining from Bordeaux in 2020.
Furthermore, Shaw's consistency in front of goal was highlighted by her record of goal involvement in ten consecutive league games, a first in Women's Super League history. Her impact on the team's performance has been instrumental in Manchester City's success this season.
Manchester City's victory over West Ham also marked their thirteenth consecutive win in the league, setting a new record for the most consecutive wins in a single season. The team's impressive form has put them three points clear of reigning champions Chelsea, with a potential title decider looming based on goal difference.
Looking ahead, Manchester City will face Bristol City before a crucial clash against Arsenal, who hold the record for the longest winning streak in Women's Super League history. The upcoming matches promise to be pivotal in determining the outcome of the title race.
