 Manchester City booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Women's Champions League with two games to spare after overcoming Hammarby at a boisterous Stockholm Arena.

Khadija Shaw scored both of her side's goals to become City's all-time top scorer in the competition with seven.

Their latest European victory ensured the Group D leaders made it four wins out of four to join Women's Super League rivals Chelsea in the last eight.

In-form Jamaica forward Shaw fired the visitors ahead after dribbling past a couple of challenges before her deflected attempt looped over goalkeeper Anna Tamminen.

The City player's animated celebration in front of the home fans then saw her booked, with replays also showing an object seemingly being thrown her way from the stands.

Hammarby had lost 2-0 at Manchester City last week but the Swedish side gave the visitors an almighty scare when Ellen Wangerheim tapped in an equaliser.

But Shaw made sure City advanced to the last eight for the first time since 2020-21 by restoring their lead with an outstanding finish from 20 yards out.

It required a fine double save by Khiara Keating to keep City's lead intact in front of 20,428 fans - a record for a women's club match in Sweden.

"Take the goals away and I'm still really proud of how she played," City boss Gareth Taylor said of Shaw's performance afterwards.

"She just really set off the press for us, really put them under so much pressure and gave so much energy to the team. When you have a player at the top like that, it just gives such a boost."
