The extraordinary numbers behind Bunny’s road to 100 | OneFootball

A deep dive into Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw’s phenomenal stats en route to becoming City’s latest centurion.

The Jamaican became the first women’s player in our professional era to score 100 goals for the Club in our 6-1 Barclays Women’s Super League win over Aston Villa.

Her first of four strikes was enough to bring up a century, meaning she now sits on 103 in just 120 appearances.

Already our record goalscorer, Shaw has continually broken new ground at City and the wider English top flight since joining the Club ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.

Below are some of the remarkable numbers behind her latest and, perhaps, greatest milestone to date…

WSL Rankings

In short, Shaw has dominated the scoring charts since moving to the WSL in 2021.

She has 74 WSL goals to her name in just 82 appearances, or just over 90% of her matches in the English top flight.

No other player in the WSL can better that tally, with her closest rival being Arsenal’s Alessia Russo on 48 goals.

When adding assists to the equation, Shaw once again leads the way, with her overall goal contributions standing at 91, with Russo (61) and Lauren Hemp (60) second and third in the list.

The Jamaican also has the most shots on target (152) and touches in the opposition box (663) during that time.

Fox in the Box

Of Shaw’s 103 goals for City, a remarkable 99 have come from open play, and she’s finished with her first touch on 62 occasions.

But while the Jamaican is blessed with tremendous pace and power, her movement in the penalty box also sets her apart.

To prove this point, 97 of Shaw’s goals have also come from inside the area.

Minutes Per Goal

Despite sitting third in the all-time goal rankings, Shaw boasts the best minutes per goal ratio of any player in the WSL to have found the net at least ten times.

Her currently tally stands at a goal every 80 minutes, with Chelsea’s Sam Kerr her closest competitor ay 95 minutes.

City team-mate Vivianne Miedema, the league’s record scorer, has plundered her 91 goals at an average of one every 107 minutes and sits third in the list.

Heady Heights

One of Bunny’s greatest assets is her ability in the air, and 36 of her 103 goals have come from headers.

Of those 36 headers, 28 have come in the WSL – another record for the competition since its inception in 2010, and more than double the amount any other player has managed during her time in the English game.

She surpassed Tottenham Hotspur’s Beth England when heading home in our 3-0 win over Leicester City in December 2025.

How may I assist you?

Shaw was quick to credit her City team-mates for their role in her century of strikes in the aftermath of breaking the milestone.

In total, 26 different players have provided for the Jamaican, with the most coming from Lauren Hemp, with 16.

Mary Fowler and Chloe Kelly are next on the list with seven apiece, with Leila Ouahabi (six), Kerstin Casparij and Jess Park (both five) completing the top six.

WSL Golden Boots

In total, Shaw has finished top of the WSL scoring charts in two of her four full seasons at City so far, first in 2023/24 with 20 strikes.

She became our first-ever Golden Boot winner in the process and would repeat the trick when sharing the award with Alessia Russo in 2024/25, despite missing almost a third of the season through injury.

That second success saw her moving alongside City team-mate Vivianne Miedema and Chelsea’s Sam Kerr as one of only three players to win back-to-back Golden Boots.

The Jamaican leads the way once again this season with 12 strikes in 11 matches so far, seven more than her closest rival.

Treble Maker

Bunny also holds the record for the most hat-tricks in WSL history, with seven to her name already.

The only other players in the league to have more than one in the time period since Shaw joined City in 2021 are Rachel Daly and Lauren James, both on two.

In December 2023, she also became the first and only WSL player to score three hat-tricks in a calendar year, doing so against Tottenham Hotspur (March and November) and Everton (December).
