Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw netted her ninth goal of the season to continue Manchester City’s unbeaten run and round off their 3-0 win over Sunderland in the Continental Cup.
Gareth Taylor’s side played with poise as they stretched their winning streak to seven games in a row across all competitions. Steph Houghton fed the ball into the path of Shaw who took a light touch and fired it into the back of the net to make it three goals and three points for the home side on the hour mark.
Hayley Raso had delivered the pass for Julie Blakstad to break the stalemate in the eighth minute of open play and she added a goal to her assist when she capitalised on a loose ball 30 yards out, before charging into the box and scoring two minutes after the halftime break.
