England speaks: “We know we needed to start the game strong and Reading would be tough. The sending off put the advantage in our hands but they gave us a good game. [Kerr] is a lovely girl, fitted in really well and we’ve had a good few link-ups in training and I think that showed today. It’s a shame she didn’t get a goal today but I’m excited by what she will bring to this club.” 2.29pm GMT
There we have it. A great first half gave way to a slightly tamer second once Chelsea had got themselves in front, but Reading can be proud of that performance and Sam Kerr, who missed two glorious chances, can console herself with a performance where she was central to all her side’s best attacks – and both their goals.
