Highlights of the Women's Super League match between Everton and Chelsea

Chelsea closed in on Champions League qualification for next season as Sam Kerr's double helped the Women's Super League champions to a 4-1 win at Everton.

Kerr opened the scoring early on at Goodison Park with a trademark finish, only for Yuka Momik to bring the home side level with one of the goals of the season.

Chelsea then took control of proceedings after half-time, scoring through Kerr again before goals from Ellie Carpenter and Erin Cuthbert completed the win for Sonia Bompastor's side.

That twin strike moved Kerr on to 63 WSL goals for Chelsea, drawing the forward Kerr level with Fran Kirby's total for the west London club.

Kerr: Qualifying for CL is the aim for Chelsea

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr:

"There's still plenty to play for.

"The league is still there but we want to be in that Champions League spot, that's the most important.

"Three points today was the main goal."

On equalling Chelsea's WSL scoring record, she added: "Even to be in the same conversation as someone like Fran [Kirby], she a legend of this club and a legend of the game and someone I've played some very good football with.

"Even to be on the same level as her is amazing."

Bompastor: Kerr makes big difference

Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor on Sam Kerr's performance:

"Sam [Kerr] deserves what is happening to her. She's a great player.

"She's a great person as well and her performance today showed she is one of the best in the world.

"I enjoy working with her. She has evolved and wants to learn to help the team. She's a team player and having a player like her makes a big difference for the manager."

Those three points keep Chelsea in second place, six points behind leaders Man City, but more crucially now four clear of third-placed Manchester United after Marc Skinner's team were held to a frustrating goalless draw at Tottenham Hotspur to hinder their hopes of Champions League football next season.

It could have been worse for the visitors, with Spurs having 22 attempts at goal in the game. United now look certain to slip out of the top three in the league with Arsenal sitting one point behind with three games in hand on their rivals, the first of which is at home to Leicester City on Wednesday night, live on Sky Sports.
