""Coming into this game, I knew that if I scored it would have been a really good milestone for me," an emotional Shaw told BBC Radio 5 Live. "The beginning of the year was a bit challenging. Even a couple of weeks ago with what happened back home [in Jamaica], mentally, it was tough. "I just try to do the best that I can. It was a good job today - four goals, six points [clear at the top of the WSL], and we keep going.""
"Shaw's achievement is nothing short of remarkable given she reached the landmark in just 120 games in all competitions. In her past four WSL matches, she has picked up eight goals and two assists, and has a 0.82 goals-per-game rate this season in the league. The 28-year-old leads the WSL top-scorers chart by seven goals, with her nearest competitors on five goals each, and Shaw has netted as many as Liverpool have in total this season."
