Man United escape, West Ham miss their chance, and Bunny Shaw cannot be stopped

Man United escape, West Ham miss their chance, and Bunny Shaw cannot be stopped

Author: Stak December 16, 2025 Duration: 48:30

That’s it for the WSL in 2025! And we were treated to a couple of bangers this weekend to finish things off. Chloe and Rachel relive it all!


Man United pulled off mission impossible against Spurs – although maybe it was more like ‘mission never should have been impossible in the first place’ – and Marc Skinner was evidently feeling a little hot under the collar.


Elsewhere, West Ham and Liverpool played out a four goal stalemate that left no one happy, Rachel least of all!


And Man City kept up their title pace with a blistering 6-1 win against Aston Villa, featuring a very special milestone for Bunny Shaw. Can anything stop her taking the all-time WSL goalscoring record?
