Manchester City Women secured a victory against Tottenham Hotspur following a hat-trick from forward Khadija Shaw. The Jamaica international scored all three goals in the fixture held at the Joie Stadium. The result moves Gareth Taylor's side to the top of the Women's Super League table, three points ahead of Chelsea Women who have played fewer matches.
Midfielder Sam Coffey described the performance of her team-mate as being like a video game, according to Sky Sports. Shaw has now scored 21 goals in the current league campaign. The forward opened the scoring early in the first half before adding two further goals to confirm the win for the home team.
Tottenham remains in sixth position in the standings following the defeat, per the official Women's Super League data. Manchester City Women next face an away fixture as the title race continues. The club has now won 12 consecutive league matches to maintain its position at the summit of the division, according to The Guardian.
