Manchester City star Khadija Shaw tipped the ball around goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold to take the lead at West Ham in a 1-0 win away from home in their return to Women’s Super League action.
The Hammers had the chance to take an early lead from a chaotic scramble in the City box that almost nudged the ball into the back of the net by Viviane Asseyi, and again Risa Shimizu edged through the back line for a front-post effort that Ellie Roebuck parried away.
But it was City’s day, just minutes after the break, Yui Hasegawa started the build-up taking the ball on the turn to link with Deyna Castellanos whose first-time ball put Shaw through on goal.
