Manchester City record goalscorer Bunny Shaw was sent racist and misogynistic messages following Sunday’s Women’s Super League game against Arsenal, the club have confirmed.
City have reported the matter to the police and promised to support the player over “the disgusting treatment” she received in the aftermath of the 4-3 loss at the Joie Stadium.
The Jamaican, who has scored 86 goals for the club, made her 100th City appearance when she came off the bench in the 66th minute of the contest. It was only her second outing since an injury early in December.
Manchester City were appalled to learn that Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw was subjected to racist and misogynistic abuse following Sunday’s fixture.
Discrimination of any kind, either in stadiums or online, will not be tolerated and has absolutely no place inside or outside the game.… pic.twitter.com/mghP7kB5FF

A statement from the club read: “Manchester City were appalled to learn that Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw was subjected to racist and misogynistic abuse following Sunday’s fixture.
“Discrimination of any kind, either in stadiums or online, will not be tolerated and has absolutely no place inside or outside the game.
“Bunny has decided not to share the messages publicly so as not to give the oxygen of publicity to the vile individuals who sent them.
“The content has been shared with the authorities.
“An investigation will follow and the club offers our full support to Bunny following the disgusting treatment she’s received.”
