Chelsea win WSL title: Emma Hayes’ ‘toughest’ league triumph

As well as Hayes’ impending exit, Chelsea have also have to overcome the loss of a number of key players to injury.

Perhaps the most glaring loss was striker Sam Kerr, who has been out since January with after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

“In the moments that really matter, we find a way,” midfielder Erin Cuthbert told BBC Sport. “We’ve never really backed down from a challenge.

“The fans have been with us from the start, they’ve been incredible this year.

“There have been a few rough moments, this title has taken about 10 years off my life if I’m being deadly honest.

“The hardest one yet, the sweetest one yet, so I’m going to enjoy tonight.”

England forward Fran Kirby, who is also leaving Chelsea this summer, came off the bench to score her side’s sixth and final goal in her farewell appearance.

“It was great,” she said. “We knew coming here that we had to put in a performance.

“The girls blew it away in the first half, they were incredible and everything they did turned into goals.

“It is nice to come into a game like that where you can relax and just express yourself, and just be a part of it.”
