Manchester City striker completes fastest WSL hat-trick
Manchester United go second after injury-time winner
Khadija Shaw scored the fastest hat-trick in Women’s Super League history as the leaders, Manchester City , beat Tottenham 5-2 at the Joie Stadium.

The Jamaica international completed the feat in 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 Nildén extended City’s lead before the break, with Bethany England’s late goal a reward for Tottenham’s improved second-half performance.

Chelsea ’s hopes of qualifying for the Women’s Champions League were hit as they drew 1-1 with London City Lionesses .

The visitors took the lead midway through the first half thanks to Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, but Isobel Goodwin netted a deserved equaliser eight minutes from time, meaning Chelsea slipped to third, nine points adrift of Manchester City.

There was nothing she could do after the break as Arsenal ran in four more goals courtesy of Alessia Russo, two more for Kelly to complete her hat-trick and Beth Mead’s late strike.
