Manchester City got their Women’s Champions League qualifying campaign off to an impressive start with a 6-0 win over Kazakh side Tomiris-Turan in Madrid.
England Euro 2022 winners Keira Walsh, Lauren Hemp, Chloe Kelly, who scored the winning goal against Germany in the final at Wembley, goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck and City captain Alex Greenwood were all in the starting line-up.
Demi Stokes was on the bench along with former England skipper Steph Houghton, who did not make the Lionesses’ final Euros squad following Achilles surgery.
Bunny Shaw gave City the lead after just four minutes when she converted a cross from Hemp before the Jamaica international headed home her second of the match in the 21st minute.
