Chelsea replaced Manchester United at the top of the Women’s Super League table as Sam Kerr’s first-half finish secured a 1-0 victory over the Red Devils at Kingsmeadow.The excellently crafted goal came in the 23rd minute when Kerr controlled Lauren James’ long pass forward on her chest and sent the ball over Mary Earps and into the net.United were left frustrated at no penalty being given after Nikita Parris went down under the attention of Kadeisha Buchanan around 10 minutes later, and team-mate Ona Batlle also had spot-kick appeals waved away.The result of the crunch clash sees Emma Hayes’ Blues go two points clear of Marc Skinner’s United at the summit, with a game in hand.Third-placed Manchester City are level on points with United after they won 2-1 at Brighton courtesy of a late goal from the league’s top scorer Khadija Shaw.
