Australian winger Hayley Raso clinched the winning goal on Sunday for Manchester City ’s fourth back-to-back win, only six minutes after replacing teammate Chloe Kelly. Until then, City were being held to a 1-1 draw by newly promoted Liverpool after Katie Stengel cancelled out Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw’s goal in the first half.
While possessing great goal-scoring ability, Raso also gets involved with the attacks securing just as many assists. Against Blackburn Rovers, in the Continental cup, she netted one early on but was also involved with three other goals. A cheeky flick of the ball over the defender's head by Raso gave Mary Fowler her second goal of the game, she then went on to assist both of Julie Blakstad’s goals in the closing minutes of the game to seal the 6-0 win.
Now she must be wondering what else she has to do to find herself in the starting XI for Manchester City. Since her arrival in 2021, Raso has started in eight games out of 29 for her club and scored six and a goal tally of nine in 50 games for her country, respectively.
