WSL wrap: Kerr equals record, Spurs frustrate United
Kerr scored twice and Chelsea stayed in the Champions League race, while the Australian drew level with Fran Kirby on 63 WSL goals.
On Sunday, striker Sam Kerr scored twice in Chelsea's 4-1 victory at Everton, reaching 63 goals to equal Fran Kirby as the club's all-time leading Women's Super League scorer.
Chelsea's win keeps pressure on runaway leader Manchester City, who suffered a shock 3-2 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, managed by Aussie manager Dario Vidosic, on Saturday.
Manager Sonia Bompastor praised Kerr as "one of the best of the world," while Kerr expressed humility about matching Kirby, calling it "amazing."
The Blues moved four points clear of Manchester United in the Champions League qualification race after United drew 0-0 with Tottenham Hotspur, leaving Arsenal in contention.
Despite reports linking the 32-year-old to North America next season, Kerr has downplayed the speculation as the Women's Super League season approaches its climax.
