The Jamaican international created an opportunity that resulted in a Mary Fowler goal in the 71st minute

Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw played a major role as Manchester City defeated West Ham in a 2-0 win. The two teams were competing in the Women’s Super League. This win means now places City at the top of the league.
The Jamaican striker has continued to deliver impressive performances just like she did in the last season.
The Citizens were the dominant team right from the start of the game. They took the lead through a Lauren Hemp goal that arrived in the 10th minute. She produced a finish that found the near post. The opportunity was created by Mary Fowler who created space with a sublime pass.
Hemp, 24, is the youngest player to reach 50 goals in the Women’s Super League. She has been shortlisted for the latest Ballon d’Or award together with her England teammates Lucy Bronze and Lauren James.
Gareth Taylor, the Manchester City coach, decided to rest Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw and other key players so that they can be fresh for their Champions League game against Barcelona. The other players who were rested are Aoba Fujino and Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema. The match will be played on Wednesday in the Joie Stadium.
The Citizens continued to dominate the match but they didn’t add another goal in the first half. The West Ham players had some good moments but they couldn’t convert them into goals.
In the 70th minute, Shaw came on as a substitute with the aim of killing off the game. The Jamaican international had an immediate impact on the game. She created an opportunity that resulted in a Mary Fowler goal in the 71st minute. Fowler was left with an easy tap-in goal at the back post.
