Report as Sam Kerr scores stunning Chelsea opener for her 23rd goal in all competitions this season; Man Utd penalty appeal turned down after Nikita Parris ...

"We've dominated, we've tried to progress so we've come to the champions' home ground and put our stamp on it. Back to the top. The Women's Super League is now Chelsea's to lose, as has been the case for the past four seasons. We knew we were going to be without the ball. "They're two stonewalls but if one of them goes our away then it's a different game. We've been better barring the goal and then some counter-attacks. We had to be structured defensively and we were. Kerr twice got in behind the United defence but was denied by Earps on both occasions with her second, and best, opportunity coming from a perfect Jessie Fleming pass. We've had 63 per cent possession, we've moved Chelsea to only being able to counter-attack and yet we've come away having got into the box twice and they're two penalties. Chelsea, though, did go close when Fleming's miscued cross almost caught out Earps and hit the angle of post and bar. Moments later, Jess Carter arrived late in an aerial duel with Batlle in the area which was again dismissed. They're two stonewalls but if one of them goes our away then it's a different game."

Marc Skinner's Manchester United Women were edged out by WSL champions Chelsea in a cagey affair at Kingsmeadow.

Mannion crossed dangerously for Russo in one of her first acts, but our no.23’s header across goal couldn’t find a team-mate. It was a similarly cagey start to the second half with the hosts again having the first effort on goal. It was a case of third time lucky for Kerr, who put Chelsea in front after 23 minutes. At the other end, Kerr continued to carry a threat for the hosts, running from one side of the box to the other to unleash a shot that was blocked, and Earps was then quick to smother her heavy touch in front of goal. Marc Skinner’s team enjoyed plenty of early possession, and threatened to find an almost instant opener. Kerr was the target of a Millie Bright ball over the top, and the Chelsea forward opened up her body in search of the far corner, but she placed her shot just wide.
