Khadija Shaw is in a league of her own. 📈
Since 2021-22, no player in the WSL has averaged more goals or expected goals per 90 than the Man City striker.
And she's only getting better.

🤖The Opta supercomputer expected Arsenal to beat Hull, but considers City's loss to Forest 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 significant indeed.
