    While the personal milestones are good, Shaw's first priority would have been to secure the win for City - regardless of if she was the one to score or not.

    City are now level on points with Chelsea at the top of the Women's Super League following the win, with both sides on 40 points after 16 games.

    WHAT NEXT FOR SHAW?

    Shaw and her City team-mates will now shift focus on to a huge clash next weekend, as they get ready to face Manchester United on derby day. City secured a 2-1 win in their first meeting back in January and Gareth Taylor's side will be eager to replicate that scoreline second time round.
