Chelsea secured a third consecutive Barclays Women's Super League championship as they came from behind twice to beat Manchester United 4-2 and hold off Arsenal's title challenge.

The Gunners knew they could snatch the title on the final day of the WSL campaign if they achieved a better result against West Ham than the Blues could manage against the Red Devils.
