Chelsea moved to the top of the Women's Super League with a narrow 1-0 win over title rivals Man United thanks to a brilliant finish from Sam Kerr.
United came into the game a point clear at the top of the table but the title holders took control of the race with a huge victory, in a game of few clear-cut chances. Kerr opened the scoring with a superb finish from Lauren James' pinpoint pass from deep-lying midfield, the Aussie taking the ball down under pressure before chipping Mary Earps.
United very nearly hit straight back when Ella Toone fired across the face of goal, while Alessia Russo also went close of spinning in the box only to fire straight at Ann-Katrin Berger. The visitors could also feel hard done-by not to have a got a penalty when Nikita Parris looked to have been tripped in the penalty area, with Marc Skinner voicing his displeasure to the referee at half-time.
