Khadija Shaw struck her first Women's Super League hat-trick of the season as Manchester City returned to the top of the table with a 5-0 win against West Ham.

Her impressive haul came days after she surprisingly missed out on the 26-player FifPro Women's World XI shortlist, and continues an impressive run of scoring in every league game she has started this season.

After Shaw's first-half opener, City ran riot after the break as Aoba Fujino and Iman Beney each scored their first league goals of the season.

The win returns City to the top of the Women's Super League table as title rivals Chelsea were held by Everton at Stamford Bridge.

Funded by the FA, the PhD study involve clubs across the Women's Super League and WSL2.

Research suggests female footballers are two to six times more likely to suffer the injury than their male counterparts.

Vivianne Miedema, Beth Mead, Leah Williamson and Sam Kerr are among the players to have suffered the injury over recent years.

While previous studies have highlighted potential risk factors including anatomical, hormonal, biomechanical and environmental influences, researchers say less is known about how those factors interact in the day-to-day experience of elite football.

West Ham will be hoping to gather some more momentum following their dominant 4-1 win against Liverpool last weekend.

Viviane Asseyi scored from the penalty spot before adding another through a stunning free-kick, while Leila Wandeler and Laia Codina were also on the scoresheet.

"It was a team performance, a team win. When a team is on the same page and in the same direction [it's great]," Guarino said.

"It was a pleasure to see everyone aligned on the game plan. Everyone worked for each other, and that's important for a coach to see."
