Khadija Shaw’s record-breaking hat-trick lifts Man City closer to WSL title

Khadija Shaw scored the fastest hat-trick in Women's Super League history as leaders Manchester City beat Tottenham 5-2 at the Joie Stadium.

The Jamaica international completed the feat inside 13 first-half minutes to give the hosts a commanding lead after Olivia Holdt cancelled out Shaw's opener.

Kerolin added another and an own goal from Amanda Nilden extended City's lead before the break, with Bethany England's late consolation a reward for Spurs' improved second-half performance.

Melvine Malard's stoppage-time header moved Manchester United into second as they survived late drama against Everton to win 2-1.

Inma Gabarro appeared to serve a blow to United's top-three hopes when she headed home a 90th-minute equaliser for in-form Everton following Elisabeth Terland's opener.

But Malard nodded in from a corner in the fourth minute of stoppage time to move United back above Chelsea.

Chelsea's hopes of qualifying for the Women's Champions League were dealt a blow as they could only draw 1-1 with London City Lionesses .

Sonia Bompastor's side looked set to hold onto the lead given to them midway through the first half by Johanna Rytting Kaneryd but Isobel Goodwin netted a deserved equaliser eight minutes from time, meaning Chelsea slipped to third, nine points adrift of leaders Manchester City.

Arsenal secured a fourth successive WSL victory with an emphatic 5-0 win over relegation-threatened West Ham .

Stina Blackstenius put Arsenal ahead early on and could have had more but for Kinga Szemik making a string of first-half saves.

But there was nothing she could do after the break as Arsenal ran in four more goals courtesy of Alessia Russo , Chloe Kelly's double and Beth Mead's late strike.
