LONDON (Reuters) - Australia international striker Sam Kerr scored her first Chelsea goal as the Blues beat champions Arsenal 4-1 away on Sunday and blew the FA Women's Super League title race wide open.
Emma Hayes' Chelsea team are now just a point behind Arsenal and Manchester City, who won 2-0 at Birmingham to take over at the top on goal difference with 33 points, but with a game in hand.
Bethany England curled in the opener from the edge of the box after 10 minutes, her 15th goal of the campaign, and the unmarked Kerr headed a second three minutes later to open her tally since joining in November. "I got it wrong tactically at the start and we got punished for it," said Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro.
"They have shown that they have a huge desire to win trophies this year... whether I’m here or not," he added.
