    Shaw scored twice as City won 2-1 at Swedish side Hammarby in the Women's Champions League, but was targeted by the home supporters as objects were thrown at her from the stands.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Shaw opened the scoring with a shot from the edge of the box that took a deflection on its way in and dodged objects as she celebrated. The Jamaica star was shocked when the referee showed her a yellow card afterwards.

  • WHAT GREENWOOD SAID

    A clip of the goal and abuse from fans was posted by the DAZN Women's Football account on X, but England centre-back Greenwood was not happy with the broadcaster's claim that Shaw was winding up the home supporters.

    Rephrasing the original post, Greenwood wrote: "CORRECTION. Travel to Stockholm score a big goal. CELEBRATES her goal. GETS OBJECTS THROWN AT HER. Gets stick from the home fans. Gets a yellow card. Celebrate with your team mates. Qualified for quarter final. What else are you gonna do on a Thursday?"

  • WHAT NEXT FOR MAN CITY?

    City's victory leaves them top of their group with a perfect record after four matches in the Champions League, enough to book their place in the next round of the competition.
