Matildas superstar Sam Kerr jags two brilliant goals to lead Chelsea to FA Cup final victory

Matildas superstar Sam Kerr has scored a brilliant second-half double, including a sublime goal off a chip kick, to lead Chelsea to victory in the women's FA Cup final, as the Blues won a domestic treble for the first time.

The Western Australian's epic display lifted Chelsea to a 3-0 victory over Arsenal at Wembley Stadium in the final of a competition that was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Chelsea also won last season’s women’s Super League title and the League Cup.

Kerr's first goal saw her zig-zag into the 18-yard box as she beat Lotte Wubben-Moy, before proving too skilful for 'keeper Manuela Zinsberger at her near post.

The 28-year-old then executed a phenomenal chip kick over the head of the Arsenal 'keeper to seal victory.

Fran Kirby had given Chelsea a third-minute lead.

"Champions don't make excuses, or become victims or look for anybody else to manage them," Chelsea manager Emma Hayes said of Kerr.

"Sam takes responsibility, and every time I listen to her and every time I watch her perform every day, she's in charge, she's in control of making sure that she sets the standards for herself, and that's what I admire about her. There was no way she was going to be on the losing team today. She sets that tone in such a way that I've rarely seen."

The official women's FA Cup Twitter account posted: "That's outrageous!".

"Pure class," Chelsea's official account wrote.

The match took place exactly 100 years to the day since England's Football Association banned women from playing football on league-affiliated grounds because it deemed it “most unsuitable” for them to play the game. The ban lasted nearly 50 years.
