Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw fired City ahead just after the half hour mark before Ellen Wangerheim drew Hammarby level shortly after the break.

Shaw scored again on 52 minutes to see us secure our place in the competition’s knockout stage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

PREVIOUS MEETING

Our last competitive encounter with Leicester saw City dominate play as we held out for a 2-0 win.

Despite endless chances, Taylor’s team were unfortunate to be level as we entered the final 10 minutes.

But our resilience shone through as late goals from Lauren Hemp and Chloe Kelly saw City snatch all three points on home soil.
