Striker Bunny Shaw's late goal gave Manchester City a 2-1 victory over London City Lionesses on Sunday, catapulting City to a dominant nine-point lead in the Women's Super League. With this triumph, Manchester City now stand at the top with 36 points, leaving Chelsea and Arsenal trailing.

Vivianne Miedema set up an early goal for Kerolin, giving City an edge in the 11th minute. However, London City put up a tenacious fight, eventually equalizing with a powerful strike from Freya Godfrey in the 68th minute. Shaw's decisive goal emerged from a corner that the hosts couldn't clear.
