Chelsea's 'Kerrby' partnership is like prime Henry and Bergkamp at Arsenal, says Hayes

Chelsea duo Sam Kerr and Fran Kirby have built up a partnership that is fuelling the club's attempts to achieve an unprecedented quadruple for Emma Hayes' side this season.

Nicknamed 'Fran and Sam' or 'Kerrby', the pair have scored 26 goals in the Women's Super League between them and racked up a combined 14 league assists this season.

Hayes tried to find a Chelsea men's partnership to compare her duo to but ended up settling on Arsenal legends Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp.
