Manchester City Women had an exceptional 2025/26 season, culminating in the club lifting both the Barclays Women’s Super League title and the FA Cup. Under the guidance of manager Andrée Jeglertz, the goalkeepers played a crucial role in this historic achievement. Ayaka Yamashita, who made 20 appearances, was instrumental in the team's success, achieving eight clean sheets and showcasing her skills with a remarkable save percentage of 76.5%. Her standout moment came during a vital 2-1 victory over London City Lionesses, where she made a crucial save that kept City in the title race.

Khiara Keating also made significant contributions, particularly in the FA Cup, where she played every round and kept three clean sheets in four matches. Her performance in the semi-final against Chelsea was particularly memorable, as she helped secure a thrilling 3-2 win after coming back from two goals down. Keating's ability to rise to the occasion was evident, especially with her remarkable save that preserved City's lead in extra time.

Eartha Cumings, a summer signing from Rosengard, added depth and experience to the goalkeeping department. In her three appearances, she maintained a perfect win record, including a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the Subway Women’s League Cup. Her presence further strengthened the squad as they aimed for glory.

As the season concluded, the performances of these goalkeepers were pivotal in Manchester City Women achieving their first-ever Double. The club's success was built on a solid defensive foundation, with each goalkeeper contributing uniquely to the team's overall performance. With the 2025/26 season now behind them, the focus will shift to building on this success in the upcoming campaigns.
