Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor renewed calls for goal-line technology to be introduced in the Women’s Super League (WSL) after replays showed striker Sam Kerr should have been awarded a third goal in Sunday’s 4-1 win over Everton.
Australian Kerr completed a hat-trick when her header bounced off the post and rolled over the line before being cleared by Everton goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan.
“I think it shows once again: we have to have the technology in this competition next season,” Bompastor told reporters.
“We won the game by three goals so it didn’t spark a lot of conversation, but if we had been in a situation where goal difference would have been important at the end of the season then this goal would have been something I would have been really angry about.”
The Women’s Super League did not immediately respond to a request for comment made outside normal UK business hours.
Kerr remains level with Fran Kirby as Chelsea’s top scorer in the WSL with 63 goals.
Chelsea, who are six points behind Manchester City with two games to play, travel to Leicester City on Sunday.
