WATCH: 'Heart, goals, energy' - Lionesses star Chloe Kelly presented with Man City October player of the month award by England team-mate Esme Morgan

The 25-year-old was named the women's team's top performer for the month in a fan vote, beating Khiara Keating and Jill Roord to the award. She scored decisive goals against Chelsea and Leicester as City picked up vital points in the Women's Super League. Kelly has since struck three times and registered an assist in matches against Arsenal and Liverpool in November.

The former Arsenal and Everton player has been key for Gareth Taylor's team. City are currently sixth in the WSL, six points behind reigning champions and current leaders Chelsea. Asked by team-mate Esme Morgan to sum up the month of October in three words, the attacker said: "Heart, goals, energy".

Kelly will hope to maintain her excellent form when she and her City co-stars take on rivals Manchester United in the WSL on Sunday. That game will be followed by a FA Women's League Cup match against Leicester on November 22.
