Back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back' was what adorned the t-shirts Chelsea players and staff wore to receive the WSL trophy on Saturday evening...the seventh of Emma Hayes' 12-year reign.
Then came City's sudden late collapse against Arsenal, followed by Chelsea putting eight goals past Bristol City to swing the goal difference their way, and winning a game in hand victory against Tottenham Hotspur to move level with City on points going into the final day.
For Chelsea, this season hasn't been plain sailing. The squad has been rocked by the losses of Sam Kerr and Mia Fishel to season-ending ACL injuries...Then there was the added pressure of Hayes' long goodbye, announcing in November her planned departure to become the new head coach of the United States Women's National Team.
