Khadija Shaw continued her beautiful campaign with two goals in a 4-0 hammering Liverpool while Manchester City triumphed at home for the first time in 2025.
The most important scorer of the Women's Super League went on 11 competition goals this season with a first half, both assisted by Mary Fowler, in Joie Stadium.
Jill Roord added the third goal for the hosts of Gareth Taylor on the hour before Gracie sealed her first start in the competition with a happy finish 13 minutes from time.
The opener of Shaw arrived at half an hour of half an hour when the in-shape striker of the city was stuck on Fowler's cute reverse pass before he shot Teagan Micah.
The home team ensured a deserved lead of two goals 13 minutes later when Fowler again took Shaw, who got a wonderful half-volley house.
Vivianne Miedema was refused early in the second half by Micah, although Liverpool's goalkeeper had no chance when Roord responded quickly to her own blocked volley and the rebound hit the far corner.
Prior to a brilliant outing for hosts when she hit Taylor Hinds for pace before her right -wing cross happened to sail over her teammates and Micah to find the back of the net.
The comfortable victory of the city saw them achieve their first victory over home grass this year, while staying fourth in the table, three places only 13 points free from Liverpool.

Data Debrief: Fowler makes WSL history
Fowler may not have received the score sheet, but she has made WSL history with her first half of double assists.
She has now been involved in two or more goals in each of her last four WSL performances for City (three goals, five assists), and became the first player to do this in four consecutive games in the history of the competition.
Fowler's creative sparkle was helped by deadly Finisher Shaw, who scored 61 goals in 69 league matches under Taylor.
In the WSL history, only Fran Kirby once scored more goals under one manager (63 under Emma Hayes), and SHAW fits in with that record after another pounding version for City.
