A triumphant, crowning victory over rivals Arsenal has moved the leaders to the verge of completing another double, and a fourth consecutive WSL title Gcash

It’s now a case of when and not if Chelsea’s title is confirmed.Chelsea have been emphatic
Kerr and Harder stretched Arsenal and probed with clever runs in behind, Reiten had the quality to find them, and Sophie Ingle and Erin Cuthbert pushed high, never giving the visitors a moment.Yet it also created a game that was more open than Hayes would have liked Cashback
