    A fantastic four-goal display from Man City sees them stretch their lead at the top to four points for the time being.

    It was another hat-trick display for Khadija Shaw against Tottenham, whose winless run against the Blues in the WSL extends to six games.

    Evaliina Summanen shoots at goal from the edge of the area and it turns into more of a low cross which Hayley Raso chases down.

    The former City winger's shot is blocked out for a corner and Spurs don't make anything of the resulting set piece.

    Man City are still on the hunt for more goals as we tick into five minutes of stoppage time.

    Chloe Kelly runs onto the ball on the edge of the box but her ferocious drive is blocked by Evaliina Summanen.

    Man City 4-0 Tottenham

    Almost a dream moment for Lily Murphy.

    She picks up the ball from Laura Blinkilde Brown, cuts inside and flashes a shot towards goal.

    Fans on the far side of the ground cheer thinking it had snuck into the top corner but the side netting ripples instead.

    I thought we'd struggle today with Brighton having played well all season. Would never have expected to dominate them the way we did. Slegers is making an argument for getting the job full time.

    Hayley Raso attempts an ambitious shot from distance but it is parried and then caught by Khiara Keating.

    The Man City stopper has had very little to do this evening due to her teams' dominant display.

    More changes for City as Gareth Taylor looks to spread minutes around his squad.

    Hat-trick hero Khadija Shaw receives a rousing ovation as she is replaced by youngster Lily Murphy.

    Lauren Hemp and Jess Park also make way and are replaced by Chloe Kelly and Laura Coombs.

    Hayley Raso has looked lively on her return to Manchester.

    She nicks the ball off the toes of Kerstin Casparij on the half way line and speeds away towards the City box.

    She is short of options though and is eventually crowded out by covering defenders.

    That's now back to back to back hat-tricks for Khadija Shaw against Tottenham:

    • March 2023
    • November 2023
    • *November 2024*

    It is also the first time a player has netted three hat-tricks against the same opponent in WSL history.

    Robert Vilahamn did warn his side of the prowess of "the best number nine in the league" ahead of this game, and she has duly delivered once again.

    This is not a flattering scoreline for Manchester City. They are by far the better team at the Etihad.

    Tottenham can't compete at all. They are all over the place and City are putting them to the sword.
