Lucy Bronze’s goal in Chelsea’s 1-0 victory over Manchester United on Wednesday sealed the Women’s Super League (WSL) title for the Blues, following Arsenal’s dramatic 5-2 loss to Aston Villa on the same night.
Sonia Bompastor’s first season at the helm of Chelsea has been near flawless. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Emma Hayes’ departure after 12 years, Bompastor has steered the team to an impressive domestic campaign, with the Blues having only dropped points once in the league since December.
Chelsea have maintained a perfect record against their rivals, and unlike their competitors, they have avoided managerial upheavals. Both Arsenal and Manchester City were forced to make mid-season managerial changes after underperforming. Arsenal’s Jonas Eidevall stepped down in October, just days after a 2-1 loss to Chelsea. Similarly, Manchester City’s Gareth Taylor was dismissed in March, and his replacement, Nick Cushing, managed to hand Bompastor her first-ever league defeat but could not prevent Chelsea from dominating the domestic scene.

Arsenal’s 5-2 defeat to Aston Villa sealed Chelsea’s title with two games to spare. Despite a recent victory over Bayern Munich securing their place in the Champions League final, Arsenal’s loss confirmed they would not be able to catch Chelsea, whose perfect league form continued.
While Chelsea’s European aspirations were dashed by a heavy 4-1 loss to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals, Bompastor’s side remains dominant in England. Chelsea is on track for a potential domestic treble, as they will face Manchester United in the FA Cup final in May.
Chelsea’s incredible consistency in the league and their impressive form under Bompastor’s leadership cements their status as the top team in England for the sixth consecutive season.
