Gallery: Points are shared in Manchester derby after another Shaw strike
Bunny Shaw struck on her 100th WSL appearance to give City the lead in the Manchester derby, but the Blues had to settle for a point.
In our seventh Barclays Women’s Super League game of 2026/27, the spoils were shared in Leigh on a cold night under the lights.
After a tense opening 45 minutes, it was our reliable number nine, Shaw, who opened the scoring on what was also her 100th appearance in the top-flight.
The Jamaican managed to pin Dominique Janssen in the penalty area before turning her and unleashing a thunderbolt of a strike which had Phallon Tullis-Joyce grasping at thin air.
With the minutes ticking down and City dropping deeper to protect our lead, there was to be late heartbreak.
From a long ball into the box, Elisabeth Terland reacted quickest to the loose ball in the penalty area before thumping home from close range.
City will still be pleased with a point on the road, but will be eager to return to winning ways with Champions League action on the horizon.
