Bunny Shaw became Manchester City's all-time leading scorer as her side eased to a 3-1 win over Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium to go top of the Women's Super League.

Jess Park was the star of the Manchester derby scoring two first-half goals, her first in the league, before setting up Shaw's landmark 68th strike for City to send them three points clear of Chelsea, who play West Ham on Sunday - live on Sky Sports.

Marc Skinner was disappointed City's first goal was not ruled out with Bunny Shaw in an offside position. "To miss that call in a game like this it changes the momentum and in football momentum is key," the United manager told BBC Radio 5 Live.

United's Hannah Blundell, fortunate to be on the pitch after avoiding a second booking in the first half, forced an own goal from Kerstin Casparij in the closing stages, but City held on to claim their 11th straight league win in front of 40,086 fans.

United pushed hard late on but their hopes of securing Champions League football next season appear to be all but over with third-placed Arsenal six points clear having played a game less. City delivering another reminder of the gulf between the two clubs.
