Sam Kerr hails ‘scary’ Chelsea performance as West Ham demolished in Women’s League Cup semi-final

Sam Kerr says it is “scary” how well Chelsea can play, after her four-goal haul helped the Blues reach the League Cup Final with a 7-0 semi-final win over West Ham.

Fran Kirby, Lauren James and Guro Reiten were also on target as Chelsea cruised past Paul Konchesky’s side to reach the final, where they will face Arsenal at Selhurst Park on March 5.

The demolition means Emma Hayes’s side can look forward to a fourth League Cup Final in successive years, although they were beaten in two of the last three.

Kerr said: “When we play like that, no one can get near us.

“It’s quite scary how quickly we can move the ball. Tonight, it all clicked.

“It was just one of those nights when it felt like every pass and every run was the right one.

“We pride ourselves on winning games and winning trophies, so you can bet your bottom dollar we’ll be there with our best foot forward.”
