MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Mayra Ramirez scored twice as Chelsea routed Manchester United 6-0 to clinch its fifth straight Women’s Super League title in a triumphant sendoff for manager Emma Hayes on Saturday. Hayes ends her 12-year spell at Chelsea on a high note before heading across the Atlantic to take over as coach of the U.S. women’s team — shortly before the Americans play in the Paris Olympics. Hayes has won 15 major trophies at Chelsea, including seven WSLs. Chelsea and Manchester City entered Saturday’s final round level on points, but with the London club ahead on goal difference. City beat Aston Villa 2-1 in Birmingham with both games kicking off at the same time. The Chelsea fans didn’t need to check the City score, however, as Ramirez netted in the second minute. First-half goals followed from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Sjoeke Nüsken then Ramirez bagged her second to make it 4-0 before the break. |
