World Cup stint has Matildas star Mary Fowler ready to peak for Manchester City after helping lead her WSL club to the top of the table with 5-0 thrashing

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 (WSL).

Fowler was just an afterthought among City's star-studded squad in her debut season but the 20-year-old demonstrated again on Sunday that she's now ready to take centre stage for the ambitious WSL contenders following her World Cup heroics.

She produced two pinpoint assists as City ran rampant in the first half on Sunday, scoring all five of their goals before the break.
