Jamaican international Khadija “Bunny” Shaw netted once more to lift Manchester City past Arsenal in the Women’s Super League.

MANCHESTER, England, CMC – Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw found the back of the net once again as Manchester City got past Arsenal 3-2 in a thrilling contest to move up to second place in the Women’s Super League here on Saturday.

The Jamaican international gave her side the lead in the 35th minute when she nodded in Kerstin Casparij’s cross to score her fourth goal in five matches.

However, Mariona Caldentey curled in a fine effort from 20 yards a minute into the second half to bring Arsenal on level terms.

City retook the lead when Casparij and Shaw combined again, this time with the former bundling home from close range in the 61st minute to make it 2-1.

Chloe Kelly looked to have given Arsenal a share of the spoils when she bent in a fine strike from the edge of the area, via a slight deflection, with seven minutes left to spark wild celebrations.

But Iman Beney netted an 88th-minute winner after evading Lotte Wubben-Moy’s weak challenge before slotting in her debut WSL goal.
