"But those same supporters were silenced when Shaw's strike flew past goalkeeper Hannah Hampton in the 92nd minute, moments after team-mate Mary Fowler had made it 2-1, and she ran to the corner, knee-sliding and roaring in celebration. City fans showed their adoration in abundance and Shaw's team-mates urged her to lap up the attention at the end of extra time after her header ensured a 3-2 victory."
Manchester City reached the Women’s FA Cup final after Khadija Shaw scored two goals against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. City were 2-0 down in the 86th minute, and Shaw had missed earlier chances, but she delivered when her team needed her. She equalised in stoppage time and then scored a 103rd-minute winner. Her performance came amid speculation about her future after contract renewal negotiations with City broke down, with Chelsea linked to signing her. Shaw warmed up near City supporters, applauded them, and overcame an early period of struggle and a knock that required treatment. Chelsea supporters taunted her, but her late goals silenced them and City won 3-2 after extra time.
