    Thank you so much for following our coverage of the WSL this season.

    It's been an absolute pleasure to share this crazy league with you.

    Chelsea are champions, but boy did they have to work for it. I would say 'until August' but the footy is carrying on through the summer.

    Join us next week for the FA Cup final, and then stick around for the UEFA Women's Euros in July!

    We can't wait.

    Chelsea's Millie Bright speaking to Sky Sports: "[I'm] just really proud. I know every player says it is like a family but it really is. I absolutely love every single one of them. Extremely sad to see Drew [Spence], Ji [so-Yun] and Jonna [Andersson] leave but unfortunately that’s part of the game.

    "It'll be a massive hole, nobody can lie about that. As a group we have to get through it and we have to find a new way and a new journey. I don’t think you can ever replace them but ultimately you have to find a way.

    On if this has been the hardest season yet: "100%. Start to finish it has been extremely tough. I think the results prove that for all teams. Teams have dropped points where you probably don’t expect them to but that’s the growth of the game."

    After more football? There's a huge clash is Scotland at 16:00 BST today.

    It's do or die for Glasgow City on as Rangers look to complete a sea change in the power balance of Scottish women's football and end the visitors' 14-year grip on the league title.

    Eight points ahead with two games to go, a win or draw for Rangers and they will clinch not only their first-ever Scottish Women's Premier League title but their first women's football trophy.

    A win for City, who have a game in hand, and they keep alive hopes of a historic 15th consecutive title and leave Rangers needing points away to their fierce rivals Celtic in their final game.

    Chelsea

    Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert speaking to Sky Sports: "We certainly looked like we weren’t playing our normal game, we weren’t keeping the ball. It looked like a game where it was ours to lose, not ours to win. That second half showed that it was ours to win."

    On what Emma Hayes bring as a manager: “I think trust and belief. When I’ve been having a difficult time, I’ve not been able to see my family and I’ve not been able to socialise as much as I would have liked, I think she’s always believed in me. That’s what’s given me confidence, that’s what’s given me a run of games this season.

    Chelsea head coach Emma Hayes speaking to Sky Sports: "This is by far and away the best [title win]. The fact that we were 2-1 down in the first half and now 4-2 epitomised the second half of the season.

    On the most influential player this season: “Sam Kerr wins you games but Millie Bright has been available for every game. For that reason, I think her leadership when Magda was absent was unbelievable.”

    Arsenal striker Beth Mead speaking to BBC Two: "I think in the first half we were rushing things and weren't patient.

    "We were nervous. We heard Chelsea were 2-1 down and had a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately it was out of our hands today.

    "I've just been playing more freely. I've really enjoyed this season, hopefully that showed. I think the change of managers is perfect timing for me.

    "We have a week off, and then we've got to go again for the Euros.

    Chelsea

    Chelsea striker Sam Kerr speaking to Sky Sports: "In the first half I thought we were a bit nervous. I definitely felt nervous. In the second half it was just about playing how we play. That's why we're champions - when we play like that no-one can stop us.

    On first goal: "I don't score too many lefties. I just saw it coming and hit it and it went in. I don't care who scores today, we're champions so that's all the matter. I visualise scoring crazy goals (like the second) all the time and I just thought have a pop.

    "This is honestly one of the best games I've played at Kingsmeadow. It's packed and we love it."
