Khadija “Bunny” Shaw became the 10th player in Manchester City Women’s history to reach 100 goals for the club, marking the milestone with a sensational four-goal haul in Sunday’s 6-1 demolition of Aston Villa.
The Jamaican netted her 100th and 101st within minutes before completing her quadruple after the break, taking her tally to 103 goals in just 120 appearances.
Vivianne Miedema delivered a masterclass performance, recording assists for Shaw and Aoba Fujino before capping her display with a goal of her own.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Ayaka Yamashita – 5/10 Nearly gifted Villa a goal with a careless pass to Yui Hasegawa in midfield. The Japan international looked nervy with the ball at her feet despite Villa’s limited attacking threat.
Kerstin Casparij – 7/10 On her 100th appearance for City, the Netherlands right-back was a constant threat going forward. Forced a good save from Sabrina D’Angelo after the break and linked well with Fujino down the right flank.
Jade Rose – 6/10 Made an important block late on to deny Rachel Daly what would have been a consolation goal. Solid enough defensively without being tested regularly.

Rebecca Knaak – 5/10 Fresh from signing a new two-year contract extension in midweek, the centre-back picked up a booking for a mistimed tackle on Daly. Not her sharpest performance.
Leila Ouahabi – 5/10 Lost her individual battle against Villa’s impressive wing-back Chasity Grant, who caused problems throughout. Struggled defensively when Villa pressed high.
Midfield & Attack
Laura Blindkilde Brown – 6/10 Neat and tidy in possession, keeping things simple in the middle of the park. Supplied City’s forwards adequately but didn’t stamp her authority on proceedings.
Yui Hasegawa – 7/10 Played a crucial role in Shaw’s second goal, winning possession in midfield before setting the Jamaican on her way. Her energy in the centre was vital to City’s control.
Aoba Fujino – 8/10 One of City’s best performers this season continued her excellent form. Lively down the right-hand side all afternoon before netting the third with a superb finish past D’Angelo. Also provided the assist for Miedema’s goal.
Vivianne Miedema – 9/10 Displaying plenty of guile between the lines, the WSL’s all-time top scorer showcased her complete game. Recorded assists for Shaw and Fujino with perfectly weighted passes before tapping home herself. Her movement and vision were exceptional throughout.
Contributing four goals to Manchester City’s 6-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw propelled her team six points clear in the Women’s Super League (WSL), scoring her 100th goal for the team.

Lauren Hemp – 7/10 The scourge of Villa, having previously scored seven WSL goals against them. Recorded the pre-assist in the build-up to Shaw’s opener and caused constant problems with her direct running.
Khadija Shaw – 10/10 Simply remarkable inside the penalty area. Reached and surpassed a century of City goals with a performance that showcased exactly why she’s the WSL’s most lethal finisher. Her 100th came from Miedema’s cross, her 101st from a trademark cut inside, and she added two more after the break. Now has 12 WSL goals in just 11 games this season.
Subs & Manager
Alex Greenwood (6/10): Returned to the City fold for the first time since October following her injury layoff. The captain helped see out the victory and provided valuable leadership from the bench.

Grace Clinton (6/10): Replaced Laura Blindkilde Brown after the hour mark and thought she’d scored City’s sixth, but it deflected in off Shaw for the striker’s fourth.
Kerolin (5/10): A second-half substitute who replaced Hemp but was unable to make an impact on the match.
Andree Jeglertz (8/10): His half-time team talk proved spot on after Villa showed spirit in the opening 45 minutes. City were ruthless in the second half, demonstrating the clinical edge expected of title winners.
