Chelsea

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr speaking on BBC One: "I think it's the sign of a great team, we didn't have our best game but we pushed through. Everyone stuck at it and we got the win.

"P [Pernille Harder] did amazing, the team did amazing. I'd be wrong to say it was all me. I'm just lucky to be the number nine in this great team.

"A lot of people have been asking for it [the back flip celebration]. I text my friend and said back flip incoming today."

On being named Player of the Match: "I don't deserve this. People are way more deserving than me."

It felt like United were fearful of the idea of Chelsea today, of what they might do rather than what they were doing.

They did not throw strong enough punches in the first hour when they were on top, and failed to make their advantage count.

United can't let this impact them in the final weeks of the WSL season. It's hard but they have to pick themselves up and learn from it.

When you play a team like Chelsea, you need to be clinical. Unfortunately Man Utd didn't take their chances. Chelsea were not at their best but they showed their class.

Blue is the colour, winning is their name. Chelsea do it again. They are serial winners and know how to get the job done.

Tactical awareness from Emma Hayes was spot on when she brought on Pernille Harder and I think Marc skinner taking off Nikita Parris was the wrong call.

Alessia Russo is in tears as the United players applaud their fans. A first major women's final ends in defeat.

How much of an impact will that have on their hunt for a first WSL title?

What a fight by Manchester United but ultimately the little bit of quality came from Sam Kerr.

Wembley. Blue. Success. It all equates to Emma Hayes and Sam Kerr.

It has been a game of excellent skill and high quality.

It has been great game management from Chelsea. You can see a team that have been here and done so many times before against a side that are new to this stage.
