Chelsea Women completed a domestic Double in 2021/22 with a thrilling 3-2 extra-time victory over Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

We were back in front nine minutes into the additional 30, though, when Kerr capitalised on a defensive error to fire in her second goal of the day and give us the win. Sam Kerr turned in Millie Bright's cross from close range to open the scoring and Erin Cuthbert powered a shot in off the crossbar from 25 yards in the second half, but on both occasions Manchester City pegged us back with an equaliser, the second coming in the 89th minute.

Sam Kerr has saved two of her best performances in recent memory for the end of the season, as she's helped Chelsea now win the FAWSL and FA Cup.

The questions will soon pile up for Hayes and the Blues, but for now, it is time to soak in the glory of a season well done. The continued relentlessness combined with the quality from the back line to the front, the Chelsea Women did what the men could not in a season full of turmoil. 11 goals in the last eight matches in all competitions for a player that gets better and better as the season gets closer to its conclusion. And the minute I feel any of them (other teams) coming close, I just want to get better … I don’t do well in comfort and I lead a team to live like that. Gareth Taylor and the Citizens did not go down without a fight as they equalized twice on the day, including one in the final minute of regulation time through a strong finish by Australian Hayley Raso. Emma Hayes and the Blues achieved the league and cup double for the second straight season, winning the Women’s Super League and the Women’s FA Cup on back-to-back weekends.
