Chelsea are champions of England!
Magda Eriksson officially starts the party, lifting the WSL trophy as high as her arms will allow. Then it’s the turn of Ji and Drew Spence, two Chelsea icons who are leaving the club this summer.

Congratulations to Chelsea, who will surely celebrate well tonight, and commiserations to an admirable Arsenal side.
That’s it for today’s blog. I have to dash off to prepare for some men’s Premier League action, so I’ll leave you with Suzanne Wrack’s match report from Kingsmeadow and Maryam Naz’s from Dagenham. Thanks for your company - bye!

The Chelsea players are coming out, one by one, for the trophy presentation. There is such warmth between the players and the crowd.
One of the biggest cheers is for Ji So-Yun, who is leaving the club this summer. Sam Kerr’s astonishing goals will dominate the headlines, and damn right too, but Ji’s impact as substitute shouldn’t be underestimated. She brought order and composure to a Chelsea midfield that was frantic and nervous in the first half.
