Chelsea pip Man City to Women's Super League title

The Telegraph  

.and welcome to our live blog of the final day of the Women’s Super League season. Can Chelsea seal a remarkable fifth straight title to give Emma Hayes the perfect send off in her final game in charge of the London club? Gareth Taylor’s side arguably have an easier fixture away at seventh-placed Aston Villa but face a daunting task of closing that goal difference gap if they are to steal Chelsea’s crown. She is wanting to win that title, they had four they could have won and it all comes down to this trophy for them.” At the start of the month a dejected Hayes admitted the title race was “over” for her side when Chelsea dramatically lost to Liverpool, which left them six points adrift of City with two games in hand. I can see the light in their eyes and they are ready for this game.” We’ll be across all six fixtures on the final day of the season with regular updates from our women’s football reporter, Tom Garry, who will be in position at Old Trafford, while Luke Edwards, our northern football writer, has trekked it down to the midlands for Aston Villa v Manchester City.
