Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United: Sam Kerr scored the decisive goal to seal Chelsea's Women's FA Cup title
Posted : 15 May 2023
Sam Kerr was Chelsea's game-winning goal once more as they defeated Manchester United at Wembley Stadium to win the Women's FA Cup for the third time in a row.
Kerr, who has scored six goals in this league this season, headed in a cross from Pernille Harder and performed her famous backflip.
Even though Manchester United, playing in their first major cup final, had the upper hand for the whole of the first half, the game had been razor-thinly balanced until Kerr broke the tie.
Leah Galton's goal was disallowed for offside just 23 seconds after the game began for Marc Skinner's team, who have never beaten Chelsea.
After the disorganised beginning, United had the upper hand. Millie Turner nearly punched in a loose ball on a free-kick, and Galton missed Alessia Russo's low cross at the near post.
However, Chelsea was always a threat thanks to Lauren James, whose looping header Mary Earps skillfully deflected onto the post.
It is Chelsea's seventh FA Cup victory overall, adding to a growing number. Chelsea and United are still in a tight competition for the Women's Super League championship.
