Emma Hayes has branded Sam Kerr as "the best in the business" after the striker helped Chelsea to a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the Women's FA Cup.
Sophie Ingle opened the scoring just 21 minutes into the contest at Kingsmeadow before Kerr ensured the Blues' passage to the quarter-finals with a cool finish just before the hour mark. The win marked the Australian's 100th Chelsea appearance, with Sunday's strike taking her tally to a staggering 81 goals in all competitions during that period.
Kerr's FA Cup heroics were paricularly impressive considering the 29-year-old played in all three of Australia's Cup of Nations wins last week, culminating in a 3-0 success over Jamaica on Wednesday. And Hayes believes it is that kind of tenacious mentality that sets Kerr apart from other strikers in the WSL.
