Khadija Shaw's impressive season continued with two goals in Manchester City's 4-0 victory over Liverpool. This marked their first home win of 2025. Shaw, the Women's Super League's top scorer, increased her tally to 11 league goals this season. Both of her first-half goals were set up by Mary Fowler at Joie Stadium.

City's dominance was evident as Jill Roord scored the third goal on the hour mark. Gracie Prior, making her first start in the competition, added a fourth with a fortunate finish 13 minutes before the end. Shaw opened the scoring after 30 minutes, capitalising on Fowler's clever reverse pass to beat Teagan Micah.

Fowler played a crucial role again, assisting Shaw for a second time. Shaw's half-volley extended City's lead just before halftime. Vivianne Miedema had an early chance in the second half but was denied by Micah. However, Roord reacted quickly to score from her own blocked volley.

Gracie Prior capped off a memorable performance for City by outpacing Taylor Hinds and sending a cross that unexpectedly found the net. This comprehensive win kept City fourth in the table, three places and 13 points ahead of Liverpool.

Mary Fowler made history in the Women's Super League with her two assists in the first half. She has now contributed to two or more goals in each of her last four WSL games for City. This achievement makes her the first player to do so in four consecutive matches in league history.

Fowler's creativity was complemented by Shaw's finishing prowess. Shaw has scored 61 goals in 69 league appearances under manager Gareth Taylor. In WSL history, only Fran Kirby has scored more under one manager (63 under Emma Hayes). Shaw is closing in on this record after another stellar performance for City.
