Sam Kerr Becomes Chelsea's Top Scorer
Kerr’s 64th WSL goal moved her past Fran Kirby and secured Chelsea Champions League qualification with a 3-1 win, officials said.
- On Sunday, May 03, 2026, Sam Kerr became Chelsea's all-time leading WSL scorer, netting her 64th goal during a 3-1 victory against Leicester City at King Power Stadium.
- Kerr's milestone follows a challenging period for the 32-year-old, who returned in September after a 20-month absence due to an ACL injury that sidelined her for the entire 2024-25 campaign.
- The 13th-minute header from Niamh Charles's cross surpassed former teammate Fran Kirby to claim the club landmark; Kerr said, "I don't know if it gets more special than this."
- Chelsea's victory guarantees a top-three finish in the WSL standings, securing Champions League football for next season while remaining six points behind leaders Manchester City.
- Reports continue linking Kerr to a potential move to the United States to join Denver Summit in the NSWL, though her future at Chelsea beyond this season remains uncertain.
