Chelsea Women complete brilliant Man United comeback as Emma Hayes seals dramatic WSL title

Emma Hayes has guided Chelsea to the Women's Super League title with a brilliant comeback against Manchester United. The Blues have won their third successive league title.

Martha Thomas opened the scoring for Marc Skinner's side before Erin Cuthbert levelled proceedings at Kingsmeadow. Ella Toone put United ahead just moments later as the title seemingly slipped into Arsenal's hands, who relied on the west Londoners crumbling under pressure.

After two changes at the halfway mark, with Bethany England replacing Sophie Ingle and Ji So-Yun replacing Jonna Andersson, Chelsea roared back into action. Sam Kerr fired Hayes' side level before the flood gates opened in Kingston-Upon-Thames; Guro Reiten scored the home side's third of the afternoon before the player of the year doubled her account.
