Emma Hayes admitted she was "upset" to relegate close friend and fellow manager Kelly Chambers after Chelsea's 3-0 win over Reading.
Hayes ' team retained their WSL title with the final day win, after goals from Sam Kerr (2) and Guro Reiten, lifting the trophy in front of thousands of travelling Blues after the final whistle. But the win also relegated their opponents to the Championship who finished bottom of the league.
Even if Reading had beaten Chelsea, Leicester's win at Brighton meant they were doomed. But it was a difficult afternoon for manager Chambers, with her players looking deflated at full-time as they watched their opponents celebrate yet another league championship.
