BLUES JO WILD

Rytting Kaneryd fires a treble in goal rampage

- BY JASON MELLOR

JOHANNA RYTTING KANERYD grabbed a first career hat-trick as Chelsea fired a stunning nine-goal warning to League Cup rivals Manchester City.

Sonia Bompastor's side set up a semifinal clash with City next month as the WSL champions' Sweden midfielder hit a second-half treble to outclass injury-ravaged Liverpool.

Chelsea could even afford to make seven changes as they rounded off their 2025 fixtures in style.

The League Cup holders were four goals to the good by halftime as Wieke Kaptein and Aggie Beever-Jones added to an early double from Sam Kerr.

Sjoeke Nusken and Millie Bright joined in the fun after the break as Chelsea routed a side they'd laboured to a 1-1 draw against in the league last month.
