LONDON, CMC – Jamaican superstar forward Khadija Shaw scored her fourth season goal to help Manchester City thrash Crystal Palace 3-0 in the Women’s Super League (WSL) here Sunday.
Shaw, City’s all-time leading goalscorer, netted in the 73rd minute to help complete the rout and keep City in the hunt for the WSL title.
