Her brace on the final day of the WSL campaign ensured she finished as the league’s top scorer with 21 goals in 22 matches.
She’s also the first player in WSL history to reach the 20-goal mark in three separate seasons.
The achievement comes amid speculation over Shaw's future. The forward's contract expires this summer and despite negotiations taking place over a number of months, no agreement has been reached.
Sky Sports has reported that Shaw said her "home is in Manchester" when asked about her Man City future on Saturday.
"Manchester is where I would want to be, but ultimately we'll see," she's reported as saying.
Joining the Blues in 2021, Shaw has found the net 117 times in just 137 appearances, becoming Man City's record goalscorer in March 2024 and the first player to score 100 goals in the professional era in December 2025.
