Chelsea claim their fourth consecutive Women’s Super League title
Chelsea FC Women won another Women’s Super League title on Saturday. The record champions have now won four consecutive top-flight English titles, taking them six of the last seven seasons. A 3-0 win over Reading was enough to maintain a two-point lead over Manchester United, who also won at Liverpool on Saturday.
The 2022/23 season was a huge success for both United and Chelsea. The Women’s Super League is just a 22-match campaign. Chelsea dropped just three points to secure 58 of a possible 66 points. For reference, if a men’s team in the Premier League had a similar success rate, it would accumulate over 100 points.
In that respect, this Chelsea team is equal to that of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. That club is in the running to become one of the best Premier League teams ever. There is no doubt that Chelsea Women is the best women’s team in England. It’s a huge asset to Emma Hayes, one of the top coaches in the sport.
A comfortable victory over Reading
Saturday’s victory came from some of the biggest names in . Sam Kerr scored twice in the 3-0 win over Reading. She contributed the first of the Blues’ two first-half goals with a thunderous header.
Then, after the match, Kerr capped off a perfect day for Chelsea supporters. The 88th-minute goal was Kerr’s 12th of the campaign third best in the competition. Since arriving in London, Kerr has made 103 appearances for Chelsea. She has 83 goals and 10 trophies. Not a bad return for the Australian in the least.
Chelsea dominate the Women’s Super League with another title
Emma Hayes has had an immeasurable impact on Chelsea women. Before her arrival, Chelsea’s greatest achievements have all been in the second tier. However, since arriving in 2012, Chelsea have won 13 major trophies in 10 years. There were other opportunities to make that trophy count even higher. Two league runner-ups, a runner-up in the Women’s FA Cup and a pair of silver medals in the Women’s League Cup were the result. Chelsea brutally missed out on European silverware in 2021 by losing to Barcelona in the Women’s Champions League final.
However, a sixth Women’s Super League title in seven years is nothing short of remarkable. It’s a period of Chelsea dominance in the women’s game, and Emma Hayes is at the heart of it.
