Chelsea have won the 2024-25 Women’s Super League title after a 1-0 victory over Manchester United.
The triumph marks a record-extending sixth successive WSL title for Chelsea, who remain unbeaten in the top flight this season with two games remaining.
The title race had been set to go down to the penultimate round of fixtures but second-place Arsenal suffered a surprise 5-2 defeat to Aston Villa on Wednesday, leaving Chelsea only needing a point in the day’s later kick off against Manchester United to be crowned league champions.
Chelsea were forced to defend for long periods at Leigh Sports Village, with goalkeeper Hannah Hampton turning in a player of the match performance, but Lucy Bronze headed home from a corner in the 74th-minute to secure the points and the title for Sonia Bompastor’s side.
The victory secures a first WSL title in her debut season for head coach Bompastor, having been appointed Emma Hayes’ successor in the summer. Hayes departed after 12 years in charge to take the U.S. women’s national team job, but there has been no let up in Chelsea’s dominance of English women’s football.
