City substitute Hayley Raso glided into the box late on to force extra-time, before Kerr grabbed her second of the game to secure FA Cup glory for Chelsea. It was heartbreak for City, but for Chelsea it was sweet revenge for the Conti Cup final defeat to the same side earlier in the season.

Kerr thought she had given Chelsea the lead with an effort that brought back memories of Pele, as she sent the ball round City goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck and went the other before slotting home, but the effort was ruled out for offside. /> The Australian was not to be denied, and she put Chelsea in front on 33 minutes. A deep cross from Millie Bright evaded the backtracking Roebuck, and Kerr arrived at the back post to bundle it home.

While Kerr took the WSL Golden Boot, City have a high-class forward of their own and Hemp proved why with a brilliant leveller on 42 minutes. The chance appeared to have gone when she was forced wide, but she cut back inside onto her right foot and curled a stunning effort into the top corner. /> Hemp came close to putting City in front on 51 minutes, but her low drive was superbly saved by Ann-Katrin Berger.
