Serial winners Chelsea block out noise to triumph again

· AI-Generated · BBC News

The 2-0 win over United at Ashton Gate this time around could not have been a more timely reminder that Chelsea still mean business and remain the team to beat. After 90 minutes, it was the familiar sight of Chelsea lifting the cup, Blues fans celebrating in the stands and Lucy Bronze playing with gold confetti. Bronze, who won her 24th club trophy, helped Bompastor walk her children on to the pitch on Mother's Day to celebrate, and the full-back tapped the tip of the trophy when she received her medal, itching to get her hands on it properly. "There's been a lot of noise and that's because of what Chelsea have done, winning 18 trophies over a period of time," former England midfielder Fara Williams said on BBC One. Chelsea swept every domestic trophy in 2024-25, going unbeaten in the process, during Bompastor's first season in charge. There is, of course, ground to make up in the WSL as they trail Manchester City by 10 points, albeit with a game in hand.
