Katie McCabe rocket voted WSL goal of the season

Arsenal star’s strike against rivals Manchester City helped Gunners qualify for Champions League.

KATIE McCABE HAS won the Women’s Super League goal of the season award for her stunning strike on the run for Arsenal against Manchester City in April.

The Republic of Ireland captain drilled her effort into the top corner through a sea of bodies in the box.

It came just days after leaving the Emirates Stadium with her left foot in a protective boot following an injury in their Champions League win over Bayern Munich.

The goal helped Arsenal to a 2-1 win over rivals City and it proved crucial for the final standings.

The sides finished level on 47 points with the Gunners edging the final Champions League spot ahead of City on goal difference.

On Monday, McCabe was the only non-finalist named in the Champions League Team of the Season. Reflecting on both achievements today, she told The 42:

“It’s been a mad year. Even the start of season feels like so long ago. I guess to be picking up those personal accolades is always a nice thing. But for me, I wouldn’t be able to do that without the work and the commitment my team-mates have put into each of those games.

“It’s always a nice touch but I wouldn’t be able to do that without the rest of the girls I play alongside.”
