'Correction!'- Lionesses star Alex Greenwood leaps to defence of Bunny Shaw after Man City striker has objects thrown at her and is booked for celebrating Champions League strike
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?"
