Chelsea manager Emma Hayes said the drinks were on her after a 3-0 win at Reading on Saturday secured the club’s fourth consecutive Women’s Super League title.

Sam Kerr scored twice, while Guro Reiten was also on target, to secure the victory the Blues needed to hold off Manchester United’s fight to win the English top flight for the first time.

Victory completed a league and FA Cup double for Chelsea after they beat United 1-0 at Wembley earlier this month.

And they came close to a treble after missing out narrowly to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.

“Drinks are on me. I’ll be ordering the shots!” Hayes said.

“I hope they have a fantastic time — they’ve earned it.”

Chelsea’s reign of domestic dominance has been seriously challenged this season as United, Arsenal and Manchester City pushed them in a four-way title race until the final weeks of the season.

The champions, though, showed their quality when it mattered most with a seven-game-winning run to finish the league season.

“Sometimes I refer to it as a lemon that we’ve squeezed everything out of and we just keep trying to get a little bit more,” Hayes added on her side’s ability to keep winning.

“We find those margins but that is because of the staff in the background. That’s the work everybody is doing to keep us at the front of the pile.”

Fittingly, it was Chelsea’s two star performers this season in Kerr and Reiten who took centre stage to seal the title.

“We’ve played so many games, you have to go again every third or fourth day,” said Reiten.

“But we keep doing it again and again, digging deep, finding that special moment to win games and, yeah, we’re good!”

The two combined for the opening goal after just 18 minutes when Kerr headed in Reiten’s cross.

The Norwegian midfielder then slotted through the legs of goalkeeper Grace Moloney to make it 2-0 before half-time.
