Chelsea win their third consecutive WSL title

Chelsea won their third successive Women's Super League title in a dramatic way on the final day, after coming from behind to claim a thrilling 4-2 victory over Manchester United at Kingsmeadow on Sunday.

Heading to this game, Emma Hayes' side were just a point ahead of second-place Arsenal entering the final game of the season. Arsenal led in the race for the title going into half-time but Chelsea's second-half comeback quashed their hopes.

The Red Devils went ahead inside the 13 minutes through Martha Thomas, but Erin Cuthbert hit back with a reply five minutes later. Chelsea went behind again when Ella Toone put the visitors ahead into the break with her 25th-minute goal.

But in the second half, Chelsea turned things around. A stunning Sam Kerr volley seconds into the second half followed by Guro Reiten's goal in the 51st minute, sent Chelsea into the lead for the first time.

Kerr struck again on 65 minutes with another cracker as she controlled a looped header on her chest from 25-yards out before volleying over out-of-position opposing goalkeeper Mary Earps.

Admire it….

And admire it again. 🤌#CFCW

There was to be no further change to the scoreline in either game and in the end Chelsea celebrated their third consecutive WSL title, and their fourth in the last five years.

Chelsea could win further silverware this season with the Women's FA Cup final on Sunday, where they face Manchester City.
