  1. FT: Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Now the Chelsea players are celebrating in front of their section of fans at Leigh Sports Village.

    Those who travelled up from London on a Wednesday night have got their rewards.

  2. FT: Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Emma Sanders
    BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Leigh Sports Village

    Champions again!

    Unbeaten. Invincible. Inevitable.

    The celebrations are very subdued. This was the very least this Chelsea team wanted this season.

    It shows their dominance that a sixth successive title felt a matter of time rather than if.

  3. FT: Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Millie Bright at least seems to be enjoying herself, holding a Chelsea banner aloft with a big smile.

    Including the Spring Series, this is the ninth league title of her remarkable Blues career.

  4. FT: Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    A very muted reaction here - the final whistle was greeted with a few cheers form the away end, and a few boos from the home fans.

    Hugs and smiles from the Chelsea players, but nothing spectacular.

    Is it because these WSL titles are now routine for Chelsea - or are they still feeling sore from Barcelona on Sunday?

    To Freddie; a good corner, the keeper misses a punch and a sly header into the corner is an individual moment? Being ‘better at the football’ is about scoring and winning

    Stu, Hampshire

    Freddie is wrong. Chelsea are Champions because they're a team. They've scored 54 goals to United's 36, from 18 different players

  7. 'Replacing Hayes no easy feat for Bompastor'

    Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Natasha Dowie
    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It's no easy feat what Sonia Bompastor has done, the legacy Emma Hayes has left, for her to come in and do it so effortlessly and potentially win three trophies in her first season, credit to her, hats off to her.

  8. Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Some slight defensive hesitation in the Chelsea back line, before Millie Bright sorts it out with a block on Elisabeth Terland.

    Slightly risky tackle that from Bright, who again avoids conceding a penalty.

  9. Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Into the final knockings.

    You can get the champagne out of the fridge, Chelsea fans.

    I may not be popular for saying this, but the WSL is not decided by who plays the best football anymore. It’s decided season upon season by who has the better individuals. This game is a prime example of that. United better at the football, Chelsea more expensive team and an individual moment coming from that.

  11. Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    We will have SEVEN minutes of added time.

    Surely not enough time for Man Utd to score twice. Surely?

  12. CLOSE!

    Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Hannah Hampton's heart is in her mouth as a looping cross from the right clips the top of her crossbar and lands on the roof of the net.

  13. 'These are the games Chelsea players will remember'

    When you're a player, when you hang up your boots, these are the games you remember.

    Celebrating with the away fans today will be special for Chelsea.

  14. Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    United continue to probe, as Anna Sandberg has a shot blocked.

    But it looks like the home side might be running out of steam.

  15. Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Hannah Hampton's distribution has been poor today, an attempted chip pass is intercepted at the Chelsea keeper is fortunate it leads to nothing.

    England fans will hope Hampton finds her range by the start of the Euros this summer.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Double change from United - Lisa Naalsund replaces Celin Bizet, and Aoife Mannion comes on for Jayde Riviere.

  17. 'Beating Utd here not an easy thing to do'

    Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Natasha Dowie
    Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    We talk about sport not being fair and if you're watching here today, you'd say Chelsea winning today isn't fair.

    But after getting knocked out of the Champions League, coming here and beating Man Utd 1-0 is not an easy thing to do, and this is why they're champions.

    Chelsea DO NOT deserve this! United have been all over them and there should have been a penalty in the first half. Should be at least 3-0 down

  19. Man Utd 0-1 Chelsea

    Catarina Macario nearly wraps it all up with a snap shot using the outside of her boot, which Phallon Tullis-Joyce beats away at her near post.

    Chelsea look throroughly relaxed now.
