Emma Hayes' final season at Chelsea could still end with a trophy as the Blues battered Bristol City to take advantage of a huge favour from Arsenal at Man City

Emma Hayes ' final season could yet still end with a trophy as her team took advantage following a big favour from Arsenal earlier in the day

When Emma Hayes walked out at Kingsmeadow for her final home game in charge of Chelsea, she knew that her team were right back in the hunt to win the Women's Super League.. Manchester City needed four points from their final two games to seal the trophy and she expected them to get them.

. That would not be the case seven days on, not when Niamh Charles won a penalty with just a few minutes played and Guro Reiten confidently slotted it home.

They did exactly that, especially in the second half, Reiten ending the day with four goals and Aggie Beever-Jones bagging two while both Sjoeke Nusken and Charles also got their names on the scoresheet. There were a couple of scares for Chelsea, most notably when Carrie Jones' deflected shot forced Zecira Musovic into a big save at 1-0 and Amalie Thestrup couldn't convert the rebound. But after that, the Blues really ran away with it and have given Hayes every hope of saying goodbye with one more trophy in hand.
