Chelsea's Women's Super League title hopes remain in their own hands
Posted : 04 May 2023
Sam Kerr's injury-time winner against Liverpool kept Chelsea in contention for the Women's Super League championship, which they still hold in their own hands.
In the 86th minute, Kerr pounced on a rebound to give Chelsea the lead.
After Emma Koivisto had given Liverpool an unexpected early lead, Niamh Charles had leveled the game for the home team with a looping header.
With a win, the Blues are now four points behind Manchester United, despite having played two fewer games.
Chelsea is third in the standings, one point behind Manchester City in second, but with games in hand, they are well-positioned to win the WSL for a fourth straight season in what is still an exciting championship chase.
After losing to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final last week, manager Emma Hayes desired this outcome.
"I knew we would fight until the end," Hayes told reporters.
"I think we had a hangover from the Camp Nou but the changes definitely had an impact."I know we can produce better performances but when you get to this stage of the season you have to get results and I'm confident we can."
