Chelsea Emerge Women’s Super League Title Winners

Knowing a final-day win would crown them champions,
Melanie Leupolz put the hosts ahead with a half-volley from a
low corner after just 68 seconds.
Kirby guided a second into the top corner and again linked up
with Sam Kerr to power home after the interval.
Golden boot winner Kerr volleyed past Grace Moloney from
Kirby’s lofted pass and Erin Cuthbert bundled in a fifth.
Second-placed Manchester City won at West Ham to finish
two points behind as runners-up, but needed Chelsea to slip
up to have any chance of snatching top spot.
England’s record appearance holder Fara Williams captained
Reading in her final game before retiring as the Royals finish
the season seventh.
