Chelsea moved closer to qualifying for next season’s Champions League with a Sam Kerr double as the Women’s Super League champions beat Everton 4-1.
At Goodison Park, Kerr took an early lead with his trademark finishing, but Yuka Momiku equalized for the home side with one of his goals of the season.
Chelsea took control of the match after half-time, scoring again with a goal from Kerr, and goals from Ellie Carpenter and Erin Cuthbert secured victory for Sonia Bompastre’s side.

The twin strikes took Kerr to 63 WSL goals for Chelsea, equaling Fran Kirby’s total for the West London club and equaling forward Kerr’s record.
The three points keep Chelsea in second place, six points behind leaders Man City, but more importantly, Mark Skinner’s side are now four behind third-placed Manchester United after a disappointing goalless draw with Tottenham Hotspur thwarted their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
