BARROW soccer starlet Georgia Stanway was in the goals again as her Manchester City side cruised into the semi-finals of the Women's Champions League.
The 19-year-old bagged two goals as City claimed an emphatic 7-3 aggregate victory over Swedish side Linkopings.
Leading 2-0 from last week's home leg, City raced into a four-goal first-half lead before running out 5-3 winners on the night.
What a finish from @StanwayGeorgia!!!

Stanway's double, sandwiched between headers from Scottish duo Jane Ross and Jennifer Beattie, put Nick Cushing's side in complete control.

Cushing's team will face Lyon in the last four after the French side overcame Barcelona 3-1 on aggregate.
Former Dowdales School pupil Stanway has only recently returned from America where she was part of Phil Neville's England's squad for the SheBelieves Cup.
She is in a rich vein of form in front of goal for City, and scooped the Womens Super League player-of-the-month award for February.
