Chelsea secured a fifth successive Women’s Super League (WSL) title after thrashing Manchester United 6-0 in Emma Hayes’ final game in charge.
The victory secures a record-extending seventh WSL title for the club and ensures USWNT-bound Hayes’ final season at the helm ends in silverware, as she departs following 12 years as manager.
Chelsea finished ahead of second-placed Manchester City by virtue of a seven-goal difference after Gareth Taylor’s side also won on the final day, beating Aston Villa 2-1.
The two sides had gone into the final day of the season level on points at the top but Chelsea exploded out of the blocks with four first-half goals to leave City with next to no chance of leapfrogging them.
Mayra Ramirez scored twice while Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Sjoeke Nusken, Melanie Leupolz and Fran Kirby — in her final game for the club — also found the net in a comprehensive win over the FA Cup winners at Old Trafford.
In their game, City won at Villa Park thanks to goals from Mary Fowler and Lauren Hemp.
