Chelsea thump Reading to beat Man Utd to fourth Women's Super League title in a row

Chelsea have retained the WSL title after outclassing Reading 3-0 to win the league for the seventh time.

The Blues had to win to seal the league crown ahead of Man Utd and did so thanks to two goals from forward Sam Kerr, either side of one from winger Guro Reiten. The result means Emma Hayes' team are English champions for the fourth year on the spin.

It also means home side Reading are relegated to the Women's Championship after finishing bottom of the table, which ensures Leicester City stay in the top flight. At the start of the day United could still finish above Chelsea and pip them to the title and did win 1-0 at local rivals Liverpool thanks to a goal from Lucia Garcia. But their efforts were in vein.
