  The 27-year-old scored the third goal in the Manchester derby to become the clubs all-time leading goal scorer. Jess Park had previously handed City a 2-0 lead in the first half and would go on to assist Shaw for the record-breaking goal in the 46th minute.

  WHAT NEXT FOR SHAW?

  While the personal accolade is nice, Shaw will now be fully focused on securing the WSL title with City this season. Gareth Taylor's side are currently sitting pretty at the top of the table on 43 points, although Chelsea could draw level with a win against West Ham on Sunday.
