Sam Kerr scored twice against
Tottenham to put
Chelsea tantalisingly close to retaining their Women’s Super League title on Wednesday. With one game left to play, against Reading on Sunday, and a two-point gap to second-placed
Manchester City (who travel to West Ham) the league is the Blues’ to lose.
Kerr took time to settle at Chelsea, having joined in 2019 from
Chicago Red Stars, but her double in Barnet, which was basking in the sun before torrential rain arrived, means she has scored 20 goals in 21 WSL games to move two clear of Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema in the race for the golden boot (Tottenham have scored 17 goals this season).
