What a week for Sam Kerr.
On Sunday, the Australian inspired Chelsea to a famous FA Cup victory over Arsenal, with a brace that included one of the most audacious chips Wembley has ever seen.

As good as Sam Kerr's goal was against Arsenal, it seems far more likely that Kerr will be remembered for what she did last night in Chelsea's Champions League game against Juventus in London.
Sam Kerr takes out pitch invader
In the eighty-eighth minute of last night's nil-all draw, a pitch invader ran onto the pitch looking for a selfie with Magda Erikksen.
This was an act of pure gobshitery, and the frustration of the players and referee was clear.
The man was not halted by stewards and given the freedom of the pitch to run around. Kerr eventually got tired of the whole thing, and decided to take matters into her own hands.
She tackled the pitch invader herself with a shoulder charge.

Sam Kerr was shown a yellow card for the incident but won the hearts of the world.

On Sunday, Sam Kerr spoke about the brilliance of winning the FA Cup.
‘We wanted, 100 years on, for it to be a day to remember and I think it will be.
’The crowd were amazing, especially behind the goal with all the Chelsea flags. Walking out and seeing all the blue was a real buzz.
‘To be able to put on a show in front of them means everything. This is what women’s football can do. It was buzz for me and I will remember this day forever.
‘When we scored you could feel the crowd right behind us. It pushed us over the line and then after the game it was nice to celebrate with fans and friends and family.’
She had another memorable moment last night.
It's Sam Kerr's world https://t.co/NdtaNNLNLU
