Manchester City have clinched the Women's Super League title for the first time in 10 years, ending Chelsea's remarkable dominance. Arsenal's draw with Brighton confirmed City's championship ahead of their final game against West Ham. The triumph comes in Andree Jeglertz's first season as manager, replacing Gareth Taylor, and ends Chelsea's six-year reign as champions.

City's victory marks their first WSL title since 2016, breaking a period where Chelsea had claimed eight championships in total. The Blues' six consecutive titles represented an unprecedented era in English women's football. City's success demonstrates their growing investment and development in women's football, challenging the traditional hierarchy in the sport.

With the title secured, City now focus on completing a potential domestic double in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea. Jeglertz praised his squad's resilience and unity throughout the season. The manager emphasized that this championship represents a significant achievement but also serves as foundation for future success at the club.
