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.
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. Elisabeth Terland had scored the opener in the first half.
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.
Arsenal secured a fourth successive WSL victory with a 5-0 win over relegation-threatened West Ham. Chloe Kelly put Arsenal ahead early on and they could have had more, but for Kinga Szemik making a string of first-half saves.
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.
