Sam Kerr starred for Chelsea with an early goal that paved the way for a 3-1 victory over Leicester City, ensuring the Blues' spot in next season's Women's Champions League. The match took place at the King Power Stadium on October 15, 2023.

Kerr opened the scoring in the 13th minute, heading in Niamh Charles' cross for her 64th goal in the Women’s Super League, making her Chelsea's all-time top scorer in the competition. Reflecting on her achievement, she remarked, "It's a big achievement for me, it'll probably sink in in 10 years time when I'm retired!"

Lauren James also shone brightly, netting twice before halftime. Her first goal came from a stunning 20-yard shot that left Katie Keane helpless, followed by a magnificent free-kick that struck the underside of the crossbar to find the net. James humorously noted, "Two steps, not bad huh?"

Leicester managed to pull one back just before halftime when Shannon O'Brien capitalized on a defensive error, scoring with a well-placed finish. Despite this, Chelsea maintained control of the match, with manager Sonia Bompastor substituting key players at halftime, confident of their lead.

The second half saw Leicester, sitting at the bottom of the table, fail to test Chelsea's goalkeeper Livia Peng significantly, allowing the Blues to secure a comfortable win and solidify their place in the top three of the league.
