Chelsea secured a sixth successive Women’s Super League title as Lucy Bronze’s goal wrapped up victory over Manchester United.
An eruption of celebration broke out in the away end as the England international flicked a header past goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce, all but confirming Chelsea’s task was complete late in the second half.
Their task had been clear even before kick-off as news of Arsenal’s shock 5-2 defeat at Aston Villa had trickled through the stands earlier on Wednesday evening.
Chelsea knew a point was all they needed to wrap up the title but it was a nervy and uncertain evening in Manchester.
