On the back of a glittering World Cup campaign, Mary Fowler hits the ground running in the WSL with a brilliant performance in Manchester City's 5-0 win.
Manchester City believe they're now seeing the real Mary Fowler, with the Matildas star feted for helping orchestrate the 5-0 thrashing of Bristol City that's thrust the Sky Blues to the top of England's Women's Super League .
And her performance had manager Gareth Taylor, who only picked her off the bench in 11 league games last season, drooling after Fowler saw out the full 90 minutes. With Laia Aleixandri scoring City's other goal with a glancing header, the only thing Fowler failed to do was hit the net — but Taylor was adamant the goals would come for the Cairns-born youngster."With the likes of Bunny and Jill Roord, it looks like it could be a healthy competition for top scorer — and Mary's capable of being up there as well.
The Foxes took the lead early in the second half through Aileen Whelan only for Maya Le Tissier to equalise with a header for United.
