Invincible Chelsea beat Man United to win FA Cup and complete the treble
Chelsea have beaten holders Manchester United to win the Women's FA Cup final 3-0 and complete a domestic treble.
A Sandy Baltimore penalty on the stroke of half-time gave them a first-half lead, before Catarina Macario headed in the second in the 84th minute from a Baltimore free kick. The French player sealed a fantastic performance by lashing the ball home from close range in the first minute of stoppage time.
The victory means Sonia Bompastor's side have added the FA Cup to their wins in the WSL and the League Cup. The Blues have had an invincible season, going unbeaten across all three domestic competitions.
It completes a memorable first season for the French manager, who took over from Emma Hayes when she went to manage the US national side. Manchester United were still in with a chance of equalising until Brazilian star Macario struck late on.
Ten minutes of added time meant a miracle comeback was also a distant possibility - but any hope was quickly snuffed out when Baltimore got her third. It was a different story last year, when Manchester United steamrollered Spurs 4-0 to lift the trophy.

A lot of hard work's gone into this. "To win in the fashion we did, we were holding on a bit at 1-0 but the second goal puts the game to bed.".
