Katie McCabe awarded WSL goal of the season for stunning strike against Manchester City

Katie McCabe has won the WSL Barclay's goal of the season award for her stunning strike for Arsenal against Manchester City.

The Gunners faced the Cityzens in a huge top of the table clash in April, with McCabe's spectacular 74th minute strike enough to secure the win for the Gunners.

Picking the ball up from the right edge of the box after collecting a short corner, McCabe drove into the box before smashing a left-footed shot into the far corner giving the keeper no chance.

Commenting on the news, McCabe said, "A big thank you to everyone who voted and all the support throughout the season."

That goal fired Arsenal into second spot in the table, but the team ultimately faltered down the stretch with Chelsea winning the league comfortably in the end.

But the season has still been a success for McCabe, who helped Arsenal win the Continental Cup and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The 27-year-old is no stranger to outrageous goals and has made a habit of blasting home spectacular strikes throughout her career.

McCabe will also make history this Summer when she leads Ireland out at the World Cup in Australia/New Zealand. Vera Pauw's side open their campaign with a clash with hosts Australia on July 20th.
