The Australia captain, fresh from scoring in the Blues Champions League midweek triumph over Wolfsburg, netted her treble at Chelsea s Kingsmeadow home all before halftime on Sunday to propel herself to joint-top of the WSL scoring charts.
When she headed home her hat-trick goal powerfully just before the break, it took her tally of league goals to 17, while making it 23 in all competitions.
Arsenal s all-time WSL leading scorer, Dutch star Vivianne Miedema later on Sunday scored twice in Arsenal s 4-0 win at Bristol City to move back alongside Kerr in the women s Golden Boot race.
Such has been Kerr s irresistible run that she s now scored 10 and assisted on two more in her last six matches, which all bodes well for her Matildas side as they prepare for their return to international action next Saturday.
