Tottenham 0-3 Manchester City Manchester City manager Gareth Taylor warned there is "more to come" from two-goal matchwinner Khadija Shaw after she inspired a 3-0 victory away to Tottenham in the Women's Super League.The Jamaica international headed home the opener four minutes before half-time and doubled her tally early into the second half with a 25-yard effort before Lauren Hemp added a late third for the clinical visitors.It took Shaw's tally for the season to seven in all competitions, with five of them in the WSL, but the City manager warned the 25-year-old can hit greater heights in her second campaign at the club.Taylor said: "She had a good season last year but people overlook that a little bit."She has taken on the responsibility of wearing the number nine for this club and is a young player."She has a lot more to come I believe but she will score goals.

She has proven that previously and proven that here."After a summer of upheaval at City, with Georgia Stanway, Jill Scott, Caroline Weir, Lucy Bronze and Ellen White all departing for a variety of reasons, Taylor was delighted to watch them secure back-to-back wins in the WSL.Last season's third-placed club had started the campaign with consecutive defeats but looked closer to their best at Brisbane Road."I would like to play in this team because you think you are going to score goals and get opportunities.

Today we probably could have had more than the three we did," Taylor insisted."Just a really good performance from the girls.

We were brave in our play and we broke down their pressure well."Spurs were dealt a blow minutes after kick-off when forward Ellie Brazil sustained a knee injury.Brazil closed down visiting goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck but injured
