Shekiera Martinez scored four goals in West Ham United women’s team’s 7-1 rout of Crystal Palace in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Sunday.
The VBS Community Stadium was Martinez’s playground as she helped Rehanne Skinner’s side to a three-goal lead at the break with three cultured finishes.
The first was a planted header from Verena Hanshaw’s cross before she scored twice in three minutes with cultured finishes past Shae Yanez, to take her tally to eight goals in eleven WSL matches.
In the second half, Martinez continued where she left off and finished calmly beyond the home shot-stopper to notch her and West Ham’s fourth of the afternoon, before Viviane Asseyi lifted a stunning 25-yard lob over Yanez to make it five.
Palace did pull a goal back through a Katie Stengel penalty, but it was merely a consolation as substitute Emma Harries netted a late brace to ensure the women’s team emphatically extended their unbeaten run to five matches - and secured their biggest-ever victory in the WSL.
