Chelsea crowned Women's Super League champions as Liverpool relegated

Chelsea have been crowned Women's Super League champions, with Liverpool relegated to the second tier, after the FA confirmed the method of concluding the season.

The FA Board were subsequently tasked with deciding final league positions - a task made all the more difficult by tight races at both the top and bottom.

But a points-per-game method sees Chelsea leapfrog City to claim their third title.
