Shaw chases Miedema’s scoring record

Bunny Shaw cannot stop scoring and she added to her tally against Reading on Sunday. The goal was the Manchester City striker’s 18th of the season and the question now is can she break the record for most goals scored by a player in a WSL campaign. Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema currently holds the record with 22, achieved by the Dutch striker during the 2018-19 season. Shaw is four goals shy of matching Miedema’s tally and with City having three matches remaining this season, it is possible to see the 26-year-old doing just that. It should also be noted that Aston Villa’s Rachel Daly is on 17 goals, just one behind Shaw, and so, come the end of the season, it is possible two players will have surpassed Miedema’s mark.
