Sam Kerr and Ellie Carpenter were on target for Chelsea Women as the Blues edged a 2-0 win against London City Lionesses in their first London derby in the Women's Super League.

It was the first time the two sides had met in a league game, but the two head coaches - Sonia Bompastor and Jocelyn Precheur - are well known to each other from their time in France.

And as was the case across the channel, Bompastor got the better of her opponent - although it was far from a comfortable win, with London City matching their illustrious counterparts for much of the game.

Carpenter - coming up against the side her wife, Danielle van de Donk, plays for - put Chelsea into an early lead with her first goal for the club.

Sandy Baltimore held the ball up wonderfully down the left-hand side before sending a ball fizzing through the box. Carpenter was unmarked at the back post to slot home.
