WSL

Chelsea are six points away from securing a third successive league title after commanding performance at Kingsmeadow.

It was the most delicate back-heel that would dominate the highlight reels though, as she duped Harrop with ease and ran around her to calmly dink a cross through to Kerr at the near post, who headed in her 18th goal of the season. The goal was mostly credit to Pernille Harder, who had a superb match. That was largely because Chelsea were back to their dominant selves, in a relentless - if not ruthless - mood.

Goals from Beth England and Sam Kerr earned Chelsea a 2-1 win over Tottenham to keep them on course for the WSL title.

“You know what, we were talking about it before the game, it’s the same as last year, we were two points off City,” said Kerr. “One point, two points, it’s just one game, we’re in exactly the same position – and we play for Chelsea, we love this stuff.” Central to Chelsea’s dominance was Harder who, playing wide but operating fluidly in combination with Kerr and England, pulled the strings, creating space and tracking back in equal measure. She was right, it mattered little, two games, two wins and Chelsea will secure the title. Chelsea would almost score, with Erin Cuthbert driving forward before rattling a powerful shot off the base of the post. Dang, should have 19 [in the league this season] then eh,” said Kerr with a grin. There is something about the character of these Chelsea players that means they always bite back harder, and Spurs had just poked the bear.

Chelsea walked away with a 2-1 win over Spurs in what could be a title-deciding win, Sam Kerr scored the winner in first-half stoppage time to seal the win.

Struggled to deal with the lively Chelsea left at times. CM: Erin Cuthbert - 7/10 - Still fizzing with energy after putting in such a shift four days earlier. Such a fabulous crosser of the ball Erin Cuthbert opted to play a short corner, Jonna Andersson whipped in a wicked left-footed cross and England headed home.

Spurs would show that only a couple of minutes before the end of the first half with horrid defending on a set piece. And then Beth England, having already made a long-range attempt that had no chance of hitting the target, did everything in the right way with our opening goal. Captain Magda Eriksson narrowly missed the target with a header, and a good Erin Cuthbert attempt after Guro Reiten’s cross was blocked by a Tottenham defender.
