Kerr’s 116th Chelsea goal sealed a 1-0 win and secured third place, as she left after 158 appearances and five Women’s Super League titles.
- On Saturday, Matildas skipper Sam Kerr scored her 116th goal for Chelsea in her 158th and final match, equaling the all-time club record held by former strike partner Fran Kirby.
- The 1-0 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge secured Chelsea third place, ensuring qualification for next season's Champions League qualifiers.
- Fans and players gave Kerr a standing ovation as she left the pitch, while teammate Millie Bright, a 20-trophy veteran, received a guard of honour marking her own departure.
- Addressing supporters with her one-year-old son Jagger, Kerr said, "It's just, honestly, the biggest honour to play for this club, and I have so many amazing memories which I'll carry with me forever."
- Expected to announce her next move soon, the striker is reportedly continuing her career in the NWSL in the US, ending a stellar six-and-a-half year career with the London giants.
