Willie Kirk's side looked to hold a strong defensive line but Chelsea were able to find a way through after 25 minutes.
Fran Kirby was faced with a battle against Nathalie Bjorn as the England international cut inside in the box with her shot connecting against the far post and into the back of the net.
Chelsea found their second soon after half-time.
Australian international Kerr intercepted a back-pass from Megan Finnigan and struck first time into the back of the net, doubling the Londoners' lead at Kingsmeadow.
