A blue and yellow trio has been involved in the achievement, where the London team won the English top league in football in superior style after 19 wins, three draws, and no losses.

Nathalie Björn played from the start against Liverpool and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd substituted her Swedish national team colleague after the break. Also outside the squad is the pregnant goalkeeper Zecira Musovic.

In the English top division on the men's side, only two teams have gone unbeaten through an entire season: Arsenal (2003–04) and Preston North End (1888–89). In the women's top series, it has happened more often.

Arsenal's women have managed it seven times and Croydon (now Charlton) twice, but it was before the new Super League format was introduced. And when Chelsea became Super League champions without losses in 2018, only 18 rounds were played, compared to today's 22.

Every match was tough, even if many seem to have a hard time believing it, says Chelsea's coach Sonia Bompastor, who took over after Emma Hayes last summer, after Saturday's win, according to AP.

Aggie Beever-Jones secured the win against Liverpool by scoring 1–0 at home on Stamford Bridge in added time.

It is the sixth year in a row that Chelsea wins the league. With 60 points scored, they were finally 12 points ahead of Arsenal, which secured second place through 4–3 against Manchester United in front of a large crowd, 46,603 spectators, at Emirates Stadium.

Chelsea can still take a triple this season. London team has already won the league cup and on May 18, Manchester United awaits in the FA Cup final.
