Shaw scores four to hit century as City sail past Villa in rout

Sandy Baltimore was on target in Chelsea's 3-0 victory at Brighton

It was Shaw’s 120th appearance for City in all competitions and the Jamaica forward struck twice in the first half at the Joie Stadium to give City a commanding lead before Aoba Fujino and Vivianne Miedema scored either side of Lucy Parker’s goal for Villa. Shaw completed her hat-trick in the 84th minute and got atouch on Grace Clinton’s effort for her fourth. She moves into third on the list of Women’s Super League all-time top scorers.

The win maintains City’s six-point lead over Chelsea and Andrée Jeglertz’s team, who are not in the Champions League this season, look formidable going into the second half of the campaign.

Chelsea returned to winning ways after a first defeat in 34 games witha 3-0 victory at Brighton. Sandy Baltimore’s impressive individual effort gave the travelling team the lead before the break, and a Caitlin Hayes own goal and smart first-time finish from Alyssa Thompson sealed the win.
