Manchester City clinch their first Women's Super League title after beating defending champions Chelsea Sunday Sep 25,2016

Manchester City secured their first Women's Super League title following a 2-0 win against last season's champions Chelsea.

Manchester City, who needed only a point to dethrone Chelsea as they started the game seven points clear of their rivals, led 1-0 at half-time courtesy of Katie Chapman's own goal and Toni Duggan converted a penalty early in the second period.

It was another dominant display from City, who were runners-up to Chelsea last season after being pipped at the post. Nick Cushing's side are now unbeaten in 15 league games this time round, winning 13, and have conceded just one goal on home soil at the Academy Stadium.
