Chelsea wins WSL title
Chelsea won the Women’s Super League with a 4-2 come-from-behind win over Manchester United featuring two stunning volleys from Sam Kerr to secure its third straight league title and fifth in seven years.
Arsenal, which beat West Ham United 2-0, finished second on 55 points, one behind Chelsea, and Manchester City grabbed the final Champions League spot by beating Reading to finish third.
Birmingham City was the only side relegated from the 12-team division, and it will be replaced next season by Liverpool.
Chelsea captain Magda Eriksson credited teamwork for success. “It means much winning a league but winning it this way is even more. We’ve used every single member of the squad, everyone has contributed. It’s a squad win. Other teams had injuries and it showed on the pitch in their results. We’ve had setbacks and injuries and even though it’s not been smooth, we’ve found a way to win. It’s the team, the girls help each other to win,” she said.
