Sam Kerr was Chelsea's hero once again as her double helped the Blues to a 3-2 extra-time victory in the Women's FA Cup final against Manchester City, adding to ...

I felt like we nullified their threat well, and created our own chances but we just needed to be a bit tidier in the final bit. "We stopped Man City's momentum in the way we press, but it meant we had to suffer and there was a lot of cramping and groin strains. We controlled large parts of the game and then the last 20 minutes, I thought we were excellent. "Of course I'm going to be biased, but I felt like we were the dominant team in large periods of the game," he reflected. "The numbers favoured City's performance, but the outcome was down to Chelsea's ruthlessness. "But Hayes' mentality monsters won out once again and their ability to win in the big moments - even if they might not be the best - is unparalleled. I loved the game plan, I thought it was really aggressive, but we had to grind and work. They spent the majority of the tie without the ball and trailed Man City in almost every department, bar the scoreline. It is a game Chelsea won despite being second best for much of the match. It beat the previous record of 45,423, which was set when Chelsea beat Arsenal at Wembley in 2018. It was another dramatic twist in the showpiece finale worthy of the record-breaking crowd. The defender's delivery looked goal-bound, but Kerr was there to help it on its way.

We have a group of people that don’t like to be on a losing team and they’ll find a way [to win].” I’ll look back in ten years’ time and I’ll say ‘that group was immense, the best team I’ve ever coached’. I totally understand the want to talk about perfection in football but having been on the winning side more often than not, let me tell you it’s about human endeavour. Kerr has also claimed the personal accolades as player of the year for an exceptional season and it was fitting the WSL’s top scorer had the final stay in extra time in front of a record crowd of 49,000 for a women’s FA Cup final.

Kerr bags two goals as Chelsea beat City in FA Cup thriller (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Hayley Raso had scored for Manchester City to take the FA Cup final to extra time, but her Matildas teammate Sam Kerr wasn't done yet.

“It’s an amazing feeling to be part of this club. Chelsea regained the lead after a poor goal-kick from Roebuck went straight to Erin Cuthbert. An exchange of passes led to the ball being fed back to her just outside the area and she struck into the net for a 63rd-minute screamer. After a lack of clear-cut chances, City goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck mistimed her jump to try and gather Millie Bright’s long looping ball and Kerr headed in at the far post for Chelsea’s opener in the 33rd minute.
