Chelsea took a significant step towards securing a Champions League spot for next season with a convincing 4-1 victory over Everton, led by Sam Kerr's impressive double. The win keeps Chelsea in second place, six points behind leaders Manchester City, and crucially, four points clear of third-placed Manchester United. Kerr's goals brought her level with Fran Kirby's record for most WSL goals scored for Chelsea, with 63 goals.
Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor praised Kerr's performance, stating that she is one of the best players in the world and a team player who makes a significant difference. The outcome of the match has significant implications for the league standings, with Manchester United's goalless draw against Tottenham Hotspur potentially paving the way for Arsenal to overtake them in the table.
Elsewhere, London City Lionesses secured a dominant 5-1 win over Leicester City, while West Ham United defeated Liverpool with an early own goal.
