Erling Haaland is not the only Man City star chasing goal records this season

Two Man City forwards are the leading scorers in top-flight football in the Premier League and the Women’s Super League. Erling Haaland has 22 goals in 16 games, in all competitions, 17 of which are from 11 Premier League games, in his first year on British soil.

Last season was Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw’ s first taste of WSL action, she appeared in 17 games, scoring nine. However, at the start of this 2022/23 campaign, and Ellen White’s retirement, Shaw has solidified her place in the starting XI for City and seemingly can't stop scoring. To date, her goal tally of seven goals in six games in all competitions - five goals in her four games for the WSL has caught some serious attention.

Although Real Madrid’s Caroline Weir knocked her former club out of UEFA Women’s Champions League, Shaw netted two in as many games, while Haaland’s goal tally stands at five in four of the men’s competition.
