Fran Kirby scored four goals when Chelsea beat Reading 5-0 in the women’s Super League table on Sunday to take second place. The other five games of the weekend were canceled due to COVID-19 infections and injuries.
Kirby opened the scoring when she walked in unmarked to get Sam Kerr’s shot before hitting goalkeeper Grace in the 16th minute Moloney crossed and kicked the ball home with his right foot. Seven minutes later, she added a second with her left foot.
