Having already clinched the WSL title in April with a victory over Manchester United – the earliest the competition has ever seen a champion crowned – the Blues entered the final day with the chance to achieve two more milestones: an unbeaten season and a new record for the most points in a single WSL campaign.

The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge was electric, a blend of title celebrations and anticipation for the history that was within reach.

However, Liverpool proved to be stubborn opposition, initially threatening to spoil the party.

The Reds had the first clear chance when Marie Hobinger capitalized on a slight defensive miscommunication between Keira Walsh and Millie Bright, nearly lobbing goalkeeper Hannah Hampton.

Throughout the majority of the match, Liverpool's resolute defense frustrated Chelsea, limiting the champions to only a handful of half-chances.

Just as it seemed the historic unbeaten run might end in a draw, the dying moments of the game provided a moment of magic. In the 90+6th minute, substitute Aggie Beever-Jones broke free behind the Liverpool defense after being played through by Ashley Lawrence.

The young forward remained composed under pressure, calmly slotting the ball into the bottom corner, sending the expectant Stamford Bridge crowd into rapturous celebrations.

The late goal not only secured the hard-fought victory but also cemented Chelsea's place in WSL history as the invincibles of the 2024-2025 season.

It ensured the WSL trophy was lifted in the sunshine with an additional three points, marking a fitting conclusion to a remarkable first year in charge for Sonia Bompastor.

Speaking after the match, Bompastor reiterated the team's unwavering focus on achieving the unbeaten record, despite having already secured the title.

She said, "The title was sealed two games ago, yet Sonia Bompastor had consistently reiterated her desire to end the season as invincibles. There was a job for the Blues to do in front of our supporters."
