There’s big changes happening at Chelsea. Off the pitch, Roman Abramovich’s ownership is coming to an end after a deal was agreed to sell the club to a consortium led by American billionaire Todd Boehly. On the pitch, however, it’s business as usual – especially for the women’s team.

On the final day of the Women’s Super League (WSL) season, a 4-2 victory over Manchester United saw Chelsea seal the title by just one point from Arsenal, who were 2-0 winners at West Ham. It’s the third WSL crown in succession for the Blues, while for manager Emma Hayes it’s her fifth since being appointed in 2012.
