Sam Kerr has broken the US National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) single-season scoring record.
The Australian forward surpassed the milestone, which she herself had set, after a brace for Chicago Red Stars in their NWSL victory over the Washington Spirit.
Kerr had secured the record with 17 goals for Sky Blue FC back in 2017, but scored her 18th goal of the season on Sunday in front of the team’s home fans in Bridgeview, Illinois.
