Sam Kerr, we are not worthy.

Chelsea were made to sweat before clinching a third consecutive Women’s Super League title on Sunday night as they came from behind twice to beat Manchester United 4-2 and hold off Arsenal’s challenge.

Kerr showed why she was crowned the football writers’ player of the year this week with two stunning volleys in the second half as the Blues roared back from twice going behind before the break.

One of those goals was simply freakish.

Martha Thomas and Ella Toone struck either side of Erin Cuthbert’s Chelsea equaliser as United battled to keep their hopes of Champions League football next season alive.

Kerr led the fightback by scoring within 60 seconds of the restart. Guro Reiten then put Chelsea in front before Kerr sealed the title in style with her 20th goal in as many games.

“In the first half I thought we were a bit nervous. I definitely felt nervous,” said Kerr.

“In the second half it was just about playing how we play. That’s why we’re champions - when we play like that no one can stop us.”

Kerr has now one seven golden boot awards across three leagues in six years.

The BBC’s Emma Sanders summed it up on Twitter: “She was promised trophies if she joined Chelsea. This was her sixth major trophy in two years with the club and it is clear the 28-year-old is enjoying it. Kerr doing the unthinkable & producing ‘worldies’.”

Arsenal finished just a point behind the champions after ending their season with a comfortable 2-0 win at West Ham.

Manchester City’s 4-0 victory at Reading also meant United’s result was immaterial in the race for the Champions League as City took third spot.
