Mary Fowler nets Manchester City's 1,000th women's goal as champions open WSL defence with 3-1 win

Mary Fowler's low finish opened the scoring in Manchester City's 3-1 WSL win over Birmingham — and made history as the club's 1,000th goal as a professional women's side. Khadija Shaw added two second-half headers from corners to launch City's title defence. Birmingham's Océane Hurtré scored a 90th-minute consolation. The match also marked Lauren Hemp's 200th City appearance.
