Kerr, who last started a match for the club on December 23 in 2024 during a 3-1 win over Hacken in the same competition, was on target with two late strikes in the second half. 

Chelsea's early pressure was rewarded when Wieke Kaptein tucked home Ellie Carpenter's cross from close range in the 13th minute to round off a well-constructed move. 

Naomi Girma thought she had doubled Chelsea's advantage when her initial header rebounded back to her off the post and in, but the goal was ruled out for offside against Kerr. 

However, the Blues would go into the break two goals in front thanks to Catarina Macario, who steadied herself before finding the bottom-right corner from just outside the area. 

The pattern of the game continued after the break and Izabela Krizaj's foul on Alyssa Thompson eight minutes after the restart saw a penalty awarded, with Macario stepping up to send Carina Schluter the wrong way from 12 yards for her second of the match. 

But the moment many Chelsea fans craved came 15 minutes from time, with Kerr collecting a pass into the box before shifting the ball onto her right foot to finish. 

Lauren James also made her first appearance of the season from the bench, and played a role in Chelsea's fifth as her shot deflected off Lisa Ebert and past Schluter four minutes from time. 

Chelsea concluded the scoring in the second minute of second-half stoppage time, with Kerr guiding substitute Niamh Charles' delivery home with a simple header.
