"Johanna Rytting Kaneryd scored a perfect hat-trick as Chelsea thrashed Liverpool 9-1 at St Helens Stadium to reach the Women's League Cup semi-final on Sunday. The Blues, who beat Manchester City in the final last year, were 4-0 up at the break, thanks to a four-minute Sam Kerr brace, before Wieke Kaptein and Aggie Beever-Jones also got in on the act. Rytting Kaneryd whipped in her first from distance, though Liverpool did pull one back through Jenna Clark shortly after."
"Gareth Taylor has not had a happy return to management so far, and he saw Liverpool continue their dismal form against a rampant Chelsea side. The Blues massively outperformed their 2.57 expected goals (xG), having 18 shots overall, with 11 of those on target. Clark scored with Liverpool's only big chance of the game, but it could have been even worse for the Reds, who also saw Chelsea hit the woodwork."
