Manchester City players celebrate scoring against Brighton

Khadija Shaw scored four goals as Manchester City hammered Brighton to climb to third in the Women's Super League.

Shaw struck twice in the first 12 minutes and when Caroline Weir quickly added another the game seemed over.

Brighton pulled two back before half-time, but Shaw scored two more and Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp also netted after the break.

Victory was City's 11th in a row in all competitions.
