It was a hard-fought victory for Chelsea Women, but ultimately they were able to secure their sixth successive WSL title with Lucy Bronze’s late header. The win was made even sweeter by the fact that Arsenal’s loss earlier in the day meant that Chelsea only needed a point to clinch the league.
Despite Man Utd Women putting up a strong fight and their goalkeeper making some impressive saves, Chelsea’s quality shone through in the end. The result is a blow for Man Utd’s hopes of Champions League football next season, but they still have a chance with two games remaining.
Chelsea will now look to add another trophy to their collection in the Women’s FA Cup final against Man Utd on May 18 at Wembley. It has been a remarkable season for Sonia Bompastor in her first season in charge, and the potential for a domestic treble is within reach.
Congratulations to Chelsea Women on their title win and best of luck in the upcoming final!
