Women’s Football Takes Center Stage

Shaw Saves the Day for City
Manchester City snatched a dramatic stoppage-time goal to secure a late 2-1 win against Liverpool. The victory maintains City’s early pressure in the Women’s Super League (WSL) title race. Star striker Khadija “Bunny” Shaw stole the show with a second-half brace, continuing her stellar form after scoring in the 2-0 victory over UWCL holders Barcelona earlier in the week.
