Jamaica's Bunny Shaw and Lauren Hemp struck as Manchester City survived a scare from an excellent but wasteful London City Lionesses side.
Jamaican superstar Bunny Shaw has done it again. The Reggae Girlz striker got on the scoresheet for Manchester City in a WSL thriller, and her goal helped her side snatch a dramatic win when it mattered most.
Shaw was joined by England winger Lauren Hemp, whose goal completed City's work in a contest that was far tighter than the result suggests. When the chances came, the two forwards made them count.
London City Lionesses deserve real credit. They played with confidence and intensity and created enough openings to take something from the match. But they were wasteful in front of goal, and against a side of City's quality that kind of profligacy gets punished.
That is the difference between the sides right now. City were ruthless where the Lionesses were not, and Shaw's finishing is a big reason they can ride out difficult spells and still come away with three points.
For Shaw, it is another big moment in a career that has made her one of the most feared strikers in the women's game and a hero across the Caribbean and the wider diaspora. Afroballers will keep tracking her every step.
