Chloe Kelly’s Stunning Strike Against Manchester City Nominated for Barclays WSL Goal of the Month — Here’s How to Vote
Football fans across the country are buzzing as Chloe Kelly’s sensational goal against her former club, Manchester City, has been officially nominated for the Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) Goal of the Month. The England international delivered a moment of brilliance that left both supporters and pundits in awe — a goal that perfectly captured her technical mastery, power, and determination.
A Goal to Remember
The nomination stems from Kelly’s stunning effort during last week’s thrilling WSL clash, where her strike turned heads across the football world. Collecting the ball just outside the box, Kelly unleashed a curling effort into the top corner — a strike that not only showcased her shooting precision but also her confidence on the ball.
The goal came at a crucial moment in the match, sparking momentum for her side and electrifying the stadium. Fans immediately took to social media, praising her technique and composure. Clips of the goal went viral within minutes, with many calling it one of the best finishes of the season so far.
Kelly’s celebration — a confident sprint towards the crowd, fists raised in triumph — only added to the spectacle. For many, it was a statement moment from one of the league’s brightest talents.
From Manchester City to Heroic Rival
What makes this nomination even more emotional is the narrative behind the goal. Kelly, who spent four successful years at Manchester City before making the switch, has always spoken fondly of her former club. Yet, her strike against them symbolized both growth and resilience — a player who continues to evolve and inspire, no matter the opponent.
During her time at City, Kelly helped the team win multiple domestic cups and became a fan favorite for her energy, creativity, and relentless attacking drive. But now, playing for her current side, she’s proving that her best football might still be ahead of her.
In a post-match interview, Kelly reflected on the emotional significance of scoring against her old team:
> “City will always mean a lot to me — I had incredible memories there. But football is about moments, and this goal was one of them. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and how much I’ve grown as a player.”
Recognition Well Deserved
The Barclays WSL Goal of the Month award is one of the most prestigious individual honors in women’s football, celebrating technical excellence, creativity, and impact. Kelly’s nomination places her among elite company, with other contenders including Lauren James (Chelsea), Rachel Daly (Aston Villa), and Katie McCabe (Arsenal) — each recognized for their outstanding strikes this month.
Pundits have been quick to praise Kelly’s contribution. Former England midfielder Fara Williams described her goal as “a perfect blend of precision and power,” while BBC Sport analyst Anita Asante said, “Chloe Kelly continues to set the standard for wingers in the WSL. Her composure and ability to deliver in big moments make her one of the league’s most dangerous players.”
