Manchester City striker Toni Duggan dedicates 18-minute hat-trick to her grandfather: 'That was for you pop'

Manchester City striker Toni Duggan was given a bit of added motivation to score against Bristol City on Tuesday after her grandfather travelled on his own from Liverpool to watch her play.

The England international certainly didn't disappoint - scoring all three goals for City in a 3-0 win over Bristol in the Women's Super League One Spring Series.

Duggan could have had even more after striking the crossbar in the first half as Nick Cushing's side ran out comfortable winners away from home.
