Kerr Strikes Back: Chelsea Star Finds Form

Sam Kerr has signaled her readiness for the season's crucial phase, finding the net for Chelsea shortly after rejoining the team from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Her goal against Manchester United, her first in limited starts this season, was described as instinctive and boosted her confidence, according to manager Sonia Bompastor.

Chatham Town's goalkeeper, Simone Eligon, was a standout performer despite her team's 8-0 loss to Birmingham. The Trinidad and Tobago international, recently cleared to play after a concussion, made nine saves, earning player of the match. Manager Keith Boanas praised her capabilities, suggesting she deserves to play at a higher level.

Kim Little continued to prove her value, scoring the opening goal and leading Arsenal to a 3-0 win over Bristol City. Her goal marked her second in FA Cup appearances this season and contributes to her impressive career milestones, including 400 appearances for Arsenal. Manager Renée Slegers highlighted the team's consistent high-level performance as key to their success.

Other notable results included Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Everton, marking their fourth win in six games since January reinforcements. Manchester City defeated Sheffield United 4-0, with Lauren Hemp and Iman Beney instrumental in their win. Fran Kirby also marked her return from injury with a goal and an assist, helping Brighton secure a 2-1 victory over West Ham.
