Sam Kerr praised a ‘professional performance’ from Chelsea FC Women following our 5-0 victory away at Bristol City on Sunday afternoon.

The Blues dominated proceedings at a wet Twerton Park with a Fran Kirby brace and a goal from Pernille Harder putting Chelsea into a commanding 3-0 lead going into the break.Kerr added a fourth 10 minutes into the second half when she headed in her 12th goal of the season before Bethany England netted from close-range, and the Australian international was delighted with a strong display from the Blues, despite the difficult conditions.She said: ‘It was a great performance. We had multiple goal scorers and it was difficult conditions, but that’s what we came here to do.

‘We got the three points and we did the job well.’

Kerr, Kirby, Harder and England have a combined total of 48 goals and the Australian believes we are now seeing the benefit of the work put in on the training pitch.She added: ‘Every week in training it’s so competitive, whoever is on the pitch.‘We’ve all played together a lot now, and it’s nice to see us all get on the scoresheet.‘I’m happy to be contributing to the team, that’s what my job is, that’s what I’m here for.‘The more we win the better for me.’

Chelsea will now have a break from league action with a number of Blues reporting for international duty.Attention will then turn to our Champions League round of 16 tie and Kerr believes our last two victories over Arsenal and Bristol have showed a real strength in the Blues squad.‘I think the last in the last week we’ve showed what a team we are.‘The performance against Arsenal and then this to back it up, they have been massive team performances.‘We always want to be at the top of the league, and everyone is chasing us.‘We need to come out and keep on putting in professional performances like we did and put the pressure back on everyone else.’
