hat trick

But it was the Chinese seventh seed who got the decisive break in the opener, a double fault from Gauff after a hat-trick of unforced errors giving Zheng the advantage from which she sealed the set as Gauff slammed a backhand into the net.

Shaw's first goal came after just 24 seconds when she pounced on an error by Tottenham defender Clare Hunt, and her hat-trick was complete in the 67th minute.

There was a hat-trick of assists for England international Lauren Hemp, who provided the crosses for Shaw's second and third goals - and the City forwards have built a strong bond on and off the pitch.

Given their territory dominance and the presence of lethal finishers Jordan and Mark Tele'a in their back three, a hat-trick of McKenzie penalties was the minimum they could have extracted from the first half.

Key to that was getting the very best out of the squad and Prutton cites the work Robins did with striker Viktor Gyokeres - now one of the hottest properties in Europe thanks to his Champions League hat-trick against Manchester City.
