Kerr 得点する/非難する/20s but Raso, Kennedy 解除する the Cup

Chelsea superstar Sam Kerr has 得点する/非難する/20d her familiar goal in an English showpiece final - but it was her Matildas チーム仲間s Hayley Raso and Alanna Kennedy who've ended up with the Women's League Cup in their 手渡すs.

Australia captain Kerr looked as if she might be en 大勝する to 安全な・保証するing yet another piece of silverware for the English 支持する/優勝者s as she put Chelsea ahead in the 34th minute of the final at Plough 小道/航路 on Saturday in typically predatory fashion.

But big 競争相手s Manchester City, with fellow Aussie internationals Raso and Kennedy in their 階級s, roared 支援する after the break to 記録,記録的な/記録する a 支配的な 3-1 勝利,勝つ while outplaying the Women's 最高の League champs in 前線 of a (人が)群がる of 8,000 at the west London 発生地.

Kerr has become the queen of 国内の women's cup 決勝戦 in England, having 得点する/非難する/20d a hat-trick in last season's League Cup 対決 with Bristol City and a dazzling 二塁打 in the FA Cup final 勝利,勝つ over 兵器庫.

And she was at her はっきりした again as she capitalised on a mistake to put the Blues ahead in the first half.

A cross from the left touchline from Guro Reiten should have been comfortably dealt with by City goalie Ellie Roebuck but she got into a 絡まる with her own defender Demi Stokes and the ball 流出/こぼすd from her しっかり掴む.

In a flash, Golden Boot 勝利者 Kerr was on to it, swivelling and 大打撃を与えるing home a left-foot finish on the turn.

It was hard to imagine a City fightback at that point but after the break, 奮起させるd by two-goal Scottish international Caroline Weir, the Manchester club were unrecognisable as they made Chelsea look distinctly 不振の as they 得点する/非難する/20d three times in 20 minutes.

Winger Raso, given the chance to start after her 罰金 game-changing 陳列する,発揮する off the (法廷の)裁判 in the FA Cup against Manchester 部隊d the previous 週末, was a thorn for the Chelsea defence for much of the afternoon with her dogged persistence.

Kennedy, though, was lucky to get away with a first-half handball in the box 経由で a header from her チーム仲間 Lucy Bronze which should have been awarded as a Chelsea 刑罰,罰則.

The tenacious Raso nearly got on the scoresheet herself in the dying minutes after almost latching on to a 流出/こぼすd ball by Chelsea keeper Ann-Katrin Berger, but her 勝利 made 修正するs for her 2020 Women's FA Cup final loss with Everton against Man City, the team she joined in August last year.
