Australian football sensation Mary Fowler delivered an outstanding performance, securing two crucial goals, including a dramatic winner in the 95th minute, to propel Manchester City into the Women’s League Cup final. The Matildas forward opened the scoring with a powerful strike from the edge of the box in the 26th minute. Arsenal equalised via a penalty from Mariona Caldentey in the second half.
City was awarded a penalty shortly after Fowler was fouled, but she unfortunately missed her chance to extend the lead. As the match appeared to head for extra time, Fowler showcased her skills by deftly evading defenders and unleashing a stunning left-footed shot that found the net, much to the delight of her teammates and fans.
This remarkable display exemplifies Fowler’s exceptional form, which has carried over from her national team exploits, where she has netted 15 goals in 58 appearances for the Matildas. At just 21 years old, she has been named in the squad for the upcoming SheBelieves Cup in the U.S., further highlighting her burgeoning talent in the world of women’s football.
