Chelsea edged closer to next season’s Champions League slot after Sam Kerr netted two goals in a 4‑1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park. Kerr opened the scoring with a trademark finish, before Yuka Momik equalised. Chelsea dominated the second half, adding another strike from Kerr and goals from Ellie Carpenter and Erin Cuthbert to seal the win for Sonia Bompastor’s side.

The result keeps the Blues in second place, six points behind leaders Manchester City, but puts them four clear of third‑placed Manchester United. While United failed to score in a 0‑0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur, Spurs generated 22 chances. United now face a drop of the top three as Arsenal edge closer with a point advantage and three games in.

Elsewhere, London City Lionesses routed bottom‑placed Leicester City 5‑1 at Hayes Lane, maintaining their seventh‑place position. The win gives Lionesses a boost as the season’s race tightens. With the standings shifting, every point will count for teams chasing Champions League qualification and those fighting to avoid relegation in this season's end with only few chances left for survival stakes high.
