Sam Kerr has completed a glorious Women's Super League campaign, scoring a Golden Boot-sealing goal in the 5-0 victory over Reading that ensured Chelsea retained their title as English champions.

The Matildas captain volleyed home her 21st goal of the WSL season in the 71st minute at Chelsea's Kingsmeadow home on Sunday to ensure she won the prized accolade as the league's top scorer.

Kerr also played a big part in three more goals, laying on two for her equally deadly strike partner Fran Kirby and producing a point-blank header which resulted in another for Erin Cuthbert.

It sealed an extraordinary treble from Kerr, who has previously also been the top scorer in the US and Australian leagues. 

Typically, though, she was only interested in ensuring that Chelsea successfully defended the title as their victory left them two points clear of Manchester City, who won 1-0 at West Ham on the season's final day.

Kerr's triumphant season may not be finished yet. While her goals - 27 in all competitions - have already helped Chelsea to a League Cup win and now the WSL title, she's desperate to cap it all by winning the Women's Champions League against Barcelona next Sunday.
