Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw scored on her return to Manchester City's matchday squad in Sunday's Women's FA Cup win against Leicester after suffering racist and misogynistic abuse last weekend.
Jamica international Shaw rounded off the scoring for Manchester City with a second-half goal in a 3-1 victory at the Joie Stadium to seal City's passage to the quarter-finals.
Leila Ouahabi and Kerolin gave City a two-goal first-half lead, with Nelly Las replying late on for Leicester after Shaw had made it 3-0.
Manchester City had reported abuse directed towards Shaw to the police following their Women's Super League defeat to Arsenal on February 2.
Greater Manchester Police told Sky Sports News their "investigations are ongoing".
Shaw did not take part in Thursday's League Cup win over Arsenal for her mental well-being while City promised to fully support the striker over "the disgusting treatment" she received in the aftermath of the 4-3 loss to the Gunners at the Joie Stadium the previous Sunday.
Shaw, who has scored 86 goals for the club, made her 100th City appearance when she came off the bench in the 66th minute of the WSL fixture in what was only her second outing since suffering an injury early in December.
When asked by Sky Sports how Shaw was feeling following the 2-1 win over Arsenal that sealed their spot in the League Cup final, City manager Gareth Taylor said: "It's hard to say. We left yesterday and weren't able to bring her with us on the journey.
"It's really difficult for me to analyse because who knows what goes on in that world, and when you're affected by things like that, it's really difficult. I've not really had time to have a good conversation with her about it but she knows, and needs to know, that the whole club are behind her in this."
In a statement released by the club on Tuesday, City said: "Manchester City were appalled to learn that Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw was subjected to racist and misogynistic abuse following Sunday's fixture.
"Discrimination of any kind, either in stadiums or online, will not be tolerated and has absolutely no place inside or outside the game.
"Bunny has decided not to share the messages publicly so as not to give the oxygen of publicity to the vile individuals who sent them.
"The content has been shared with the authorities. An investigation will follow and the club offers our full support to Bunny following the disgusting treatment she's received."
The incident happened on the same weekend Chelsea captain Millie Bright heard expletive insults directed her way after their 1-0 win at Aston Villa, taking to social media to remind fans that players "are not robots."
Guardiola: I support her
Manchester City men's boss Pep Guardiola was also asked about Shaw and the racist abuse she has received.
"We would be lucky if this was just in world football. Unfortunately it's in the whole entire world," Guardiola said.
"Look to the politicians. What they say about this country is better than the other ones, or the other ones are not important, and all the people have to live [like this].
"Unfortunately it is all around the world and football is another expression; not just for the fact that you are a woman, or you are a different skin colour and that makes you better - it's really more difficult for me to understand that people can defend these stupid things.
"I support her, like I support all people who receive abuse in terms of racism, gender."
A statement from the WPLL, which manages the WSL, released on Wednesday read: "We are shocked and saddened to hear about the incidents that occurred over the weekend relating to Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw and Millie Bright.
"Players, coaches and officials should be able to do their job without being subjected to abuse, either in person or online, and there is no place for it within women's football or wider society.
"We are speaking to both clubs and offering any support they might need."
A PFA spokesperson said on Friday: "Online abuse and threats have real-life consequences.
"Footballers, like anyone who receives abuse through social media, are human beings.
"Players have spoken before about the serious harm that abuse has on them and those close to them, both in their personal and professional lives.
"We continue to offer all our members support, both in terms of their wellbeing but also in identifying and reporting those responsible for abuse, who must be properly punished."
