Sam Kerr has shown it's time for her to be restored to her customary starting role as Chelsea's top striker as she came off the bench to terrorise Brighton and help the English champions to a 3-0 win at Brighton.
As she was left to warm the subs' bench again by Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor on Sunday, it's now two years since the Matildas great started a Women's Super League match for the Blues.
But the way she helped reinvigorate Chelsea in the second half at Brighton's Broadfield Stadium demonstrated that Bompastor must surely employ the 32-year-old more after the winter break if they're to win the league for the seventh successive season.
