Match Report

Jess Park struck a brilliant double while Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw became the Club’s all-time record scorer as City went top of the Barclays Women’s Super League after a memorable 3-1 Etihad derby win over Manchester United.

In front of a crowd of more than 40,000, Gareth Taylor’s side served up a hugely impressive display, making it 11 league wins in a row to further fire up our assault on a first WSL title since 2016.

Park was City’s first half inspiration, capping a wonderful all-round performance with well-taken goals on 37 and 45 minutes.

Shaw then took centre stage immediately after the restart, latching onto Park’s inviting assist before firing home to register her 68th career goal for City to see her overtake Georgia Stanway and become our all-time leading scorer.
