Sue Smith believes Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw can power Manchester City to a long-awaited Women’s Super League triumph. Shaw has scored three goals in the WSL so far this campaign as well as netting the decisive second goal in City’s statement Champions League win over Barcelona.

The Jamaican finished as the top scorer last term despite missing the final three games of the season with a foot injury and Smith believes she could be the difference-maker this year if she stays fit. “You cannot switch off for one second with her around,” said Smith, speaking at the Copa del Cure Leukaemia tournament at St George’s Park. “Her movement is so good in and around the box and her first thought is ‘Can I score?’ She’s just so ruthless.

I think the reason they didn’t go all the way is because her injury came at the wrong time. “She is so key and they have to keep her fit for the whole season.

At the moment you’d have to say she’s the league’s top striker. “She took a little bit of time to adapt but not long and her movement was great straight away and the goals then followed.
