MANCHESTER, England, Dec 14 : Manchester City's Khadija Shaw struck four times to help the Women's Super League leaders to a 6-1 thrashing of Aston Villa on Sunday for their 10th successive WSL win.

City have 30 points after 11 games, six ahead of second-placed Chelsea, whose 34-game unbeaten run in the WSL ended last weekend, bounced back to beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 away.

Arsenal, who won 3-1 at Everton on Saturday, are another two points back in third on 22. Fourth-placed Manchester United were hosting Tottenham Hotspur, who are fifth, in Sunday's late game.

Jamaica international Shaw became the first City women's player to reach 100 goals, hitting that mark with her first of the day, a clinical finish from Vivianne Miedema's cross. She doubled her tally on the stroke of halftime.
