That's all from us for today. Cheers for joining us!

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Robert Vilahamn speaking to Sky Sports after the match: 'Seven-nil is not a fun result, I apologise to the fans about that result, because it's not a result we should have.

"But if you look at Man City and how they scored their goals this game, they are a really great team and we tried to play our style but they win the ball and they score goals. But we are still going to try and do what we are supposed to do, but they are a really good team and they hurt us today. We need to learn from this, this is a hard knock for us. I know we're going to come back and we're going to fight again, and take steps from this one as well."

On playing in the Tottenham way and not taking a careful approach: 'I don't think we were going to try and go ahead and get a draw, I'm going to go the whole way with this, and we're going to play this style and we're going to learn from it. This year is not about results, it's about development. For me, seeing the players play out from the back in the 95th minute, and still want to create chances, that's the place you want to be. I knew we were going to have one or two obvious losses, but for me learning through this is the way we're going to do it, so I'm still proud of the players and the way they performed."

On Tottenham's defensive confidence: Sometimes you need to win your duels, and if you don't they score goals, and Man City have a few really good players that score some amazing goals. It was that kind of day where you don't really succeed, but the main thing is that we're on a development curve, so it's more about new players getting the chance to play together."

On learnings to take into Manchester United and Arsenal games: Man City are a very high quality team, so we need to know this is the level we're going to compete against teams like this. We still need to learn how to play against them, this first month we will continue to do that, because the result will come."

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Gareth Taylor, speaking to Sky Sports after the game: "It is one game we have had so many opportunities and every game can potentially turn into that score-line tonight."

On Lauren Hemp: "Lauren Hemp is someone who needs a challenge and needs to feel confident and has set such high standards these last few games.

"Manchester United last week she was immense in everything she gave and it is difficult to single out players.

"I thought we started the game flat and Lauren was the spark, but after we got the first goal you could see the confidence come.

"I think Lauren is so good in those situations she creates so much problems for the full-back.

"She is such a threat and she causes so much problems for teams and she has the final quality which makes a difference."

On City's goal-scoring record: "I think it is such a positive for us we knew when we come up short last season it was scoring them at the top end and keeping them out at the bottom.

"The pressure for us always starts at the top end of the pitch.

On international break: "There is a high demand on the players and we try to help the nations without killing ourselves.

"It is so difficult and it is something which needs looking at and the demands on the players are so tough and there seems to be a tournament every summer.

"But we have good dialogue with the coaches, but ownership is important for the players as they want to please everyone."

Here's how the top of the Women's Super League table looks heading into the international break.

Defending champions Chelsea lead the way by three points, followed by Arsenal and then Manchester City following their huge win tonight.

Manchester City

Manchester City striker Khadija Shaw, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a good feeling of course coming into this game we wanted to be clinical and we wanted to score as many goals as possible. We scored the goals and got the win."

On her hat-trick: "I think it was the quickest I have scored three goals. For me being the front runner I want to work as hard as I can for the team and the important thing is to get three points on the board.

"For me I try to work hard and do the little bits in and around my position.

"Me and Lauren Hemp work a lot on the training pitch and we communicate. I am used to where she is going to put the ball, but all of that is about the training pitch.

"I try to get across the face of the goal and I try do the best I can.

"For us it is to try score as many goals as we can. Half-time we talked about it and to press on and keep momentum and to keep scoring and that is what we wanted to do."

Let's get the thoughts of Khadija Shaw after her hat-trick helped Manchester City on their way to an utterly dominant victory.

From a Man City point of view, they can be super chuffed with tonight's work.

To have so many different goal scorers and a clean sheet, all the performance indicators are big ticks.

And also the quality of the goals - I'm sure there's some November goal of the month contenders in that lot.

The referee puts Tottenham out of their misery.

It's seven heaven for Manchester City. What a show they have put on tonight.

It's quite appropriate that the seventh goal goes to number seven, Laura Coombs.

I thought she over ran it, but the way she adjusted her body and rifled it into the top corner, it's excellent.

Manchester City will host Aston Villa following the international break, while Tottenham will hope to recover from this experience and stay in touch with the leading pack when they host Manchester United.

Manchester City have manipulated the ball brilliantly. There has been some really slick play and some beautiful crosses in the first-class and some really tactical play in the second-half.

Manchester City have really shown their class tonight.

Man City have just been so clinical, ruthless, professional - everyone doing their jobs and stepping up as and when they need to.

They've made it look so easy to dampen out Tottenham's attacks, which other teams haven't been able to do.

But that's what happens when you have players with such experience and maturity.

Here come Manchester City again. They have been relentless.

Jessica Park looks keen to have an impact but chooses to keep possession rather than swing in a quick cross after finding space on the right.

Izzy Christiansen
Former Everton and England midfielder on Sky Sports

Manchester City have played some really good football. Spurs have been given a humbling. There is a lot they can taken from this. Man City's quality has been the difference, I don't think Spurs have been awful. I don't think tonight is necessarily a marker of where they are at this moment.

This match has effectively been over as a contest since the 38th minute, but we're going to have an extra nine minutes added on here before Tottenham can begin what will feel a very long journey back down south.

Both teams are struggling for rhythm following all those changes. The clock is slowly ticking down but Tottenham will just want to get out of here as quickly as possible.
