Chelsea clinched their fourth Women’s Super League title in a row after they won 3-0 against Reading on Saturday.
The title race went to the last weekend of the season following Manchester United‘s late win over local rivals Manchester City last weekend. Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Arsenal earlier in the day last Sunday, meant Emma Hayes’ side held a two-point advantage heading into the final weekend of the season.
It sees Chelsea complete the double — their fifth under Hayes — after they won the Women’s FA Cup on May 14 with a 1-0 win over United. It continues their remarkable dominance of English football with Emma Hayes’ side winning their 13th major trophy since Hayes took charge in 2012.
It has been a turbulent campaign for Hayes’ side, with the team suffering injuries to key personnel at various stages. Pernille Harder was out from November through to May, while Fran Kirby has been out since February. Millie Bright joined her England teammate on the sidelines after she picked up a knee injury in March. Katerina Svitkova has been out since February, while Kedeisha Buchanan picked up an injury in April.
