Sam Kerr is back and scores her 100th goal for Chelsea
Comeback of the year! After tearing her ACL in January 2024, Sam Kerr is finally back — almost two years later. She came on late in the second half but still managed to score her 100th goal for Chelsea, helping the club to a 3–1 win over Aston Villa.
- Coming on as a substitute in the 75th minute during Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa, Kerr scored her 100th goal for Chelsea.
- She reached this century mark in only 128 appearances for Chelsea, marking it as a major personal achievement after 634 days without a goal.
- Chelsea had won their opening WSL fixture but Kerr hadn’t played in it. She was held on the bench against Manchester City, then made her comeback in this match at Villa Park.
- Her return raises hopes for her featuring in upcoming international matches: Australia (the Matildas) are scheduled to play Wales and England in October, though her participation has not yet been confirmed.
