Sam Kerr has etched her name further into Chelsea's history books, becoming the club's all-time leading goalscorer in the Women's Super League. The prolific Australian striker netted her 64th WSL goal for the Blues during their match against Leicester City, a significant headed effort that put her side in front.
Kerr's milestone goal sees her overtake England international Fran Kirby, who previously held the record with 63 WSL goals for Chelsea. Kirby, a foundational figure in Chelsea Women's success, has been a key player for the club for many seasons, and her record stood as a testament to her consistent goalscoring prowess.
Since joining Chelsea in 2020, Kerr has been an instrumental force in the team's dominant run, contributing significantly to multiple WSL titles and domestic cup triumphs. Her ability to score crucial goals in high-stakes matches has made her one of the league's most feared attackers.
The goal against Leicester City not only marked a personal achievement for Kerr but also underscored her continued importance to Chelsea's title aspirations. As the team pushes for further silverware, Kerr's clinical finishing remains a vital asset for manager Emma Hayes.
