Khadija Shaw scored 21 goals in 22 games as Manchester City won the Women’s Super League title for the first time in a decade. She became the first WSL player to score 20 or more goals in three different campaigns, reaching 100 goal contributions in 93 appearances with 82 goals and 18 assists. She secured a third consecutive WSL Golden Boot and set a treble record, with a 13-minute hat-trick against Tottenham taking her total trebles to six, more than any other WSL player. She became the first City player to reach 100 WSL goals after scoring four against Aston Villa. She also holds the WSL record for headed goals with 31 and became the first player to win WSL player of the season more than once.
"Two strikes in a 4-1 final day win against West Ham ensured she became the first player in WSL history to score 20 or more goals in three different campaigns. Her double against the Hammers took her to 100 goal contributions in the WSL - 82 goals and 18 assists - in 93 appearances, the second quickest a player has reached that milestone. A record-breaking third WSL Golden Boot - her third in a row, no less - was practically assured months ago, while a 13-minute hat-trick against Tottenham in March took her treble tally to six, more than any other player in WSL history."
"A four-goal masterclass against Aston Villa in December saw the Jamaican become the first player to reach a century of goals for City. Shaw took her total of headed goals in the WSL to 31, the most of any player in WSL history and four more than closest challenger Bethany England. After being named the Football Writers' Association women's footballer of the year for a record-equalling second time last week, on Monday Shaw became the first player to win the WSL's player of the season prize more than once."
