"Manchester City are beginning to look like champions elect after going nine points clear at the top of the Women's Super League with nine games to play, striking late to claim a precious victory at London City Lionesses. Khadija Shaw was the calmest person in the ground as she slotted in a low finish in the 86th minute after a goalmouth scramble, before leaping in delight in front of the travelling supporters as they celebrated her winner."
"It gave the leaders their 12th consecutive WSL victory, maintaining their formidable run since their defeat at Chelsea on the season's opening night, and a huge psychological boost before next weekend's game with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium, where they will effectively have a chance to all-but win the title at the start of February. Without a WSL trophy in a decade since their sole title under Nick Cushing in 2016,"
Manchester City moved nine points clear at the top of the Women's Super League with nine games remaining after Khadija Shaw's late 86th-minute strike at London City Lionesses. Shaw slotted a low finish after a goalmouth scramble and celebrated in front of travelling supporters, securing a 12th consecutive WSL victory. City dominated the first half and had earlier chances, including a close-range miss by Shaw. Kerolin opened the scoring with a superb finish, but the hosts responded through Freya Godfrey's rising strike in the second half. The win preserves City's momentum since their opening-night defeat and sets up a pivotal home clash with Chelsea at the Etihad.
