The FA WSL Player of the Month award celebrates the best players in the top two leagues and the Continental Tyres Cup. Each month, three players are shortlisted based on their performances before a media panel selects a winner for each league.
Presented with the award, Stanway declared: “I feel like I’ve performed well, especially in the last game where we got the equaliser against Chelsea in the latter stages of the game.
“Scoring that goal was definitely my most memorable moment of the month. I think we’re not afraid to say that we’d like to win the league and we’re doing what we can to put ourselves in the best possible position.”
