Coach says decision to curtail season was the right one‘I’m sure our game can come back bigger and stronger’Emma Hayes, the
Chelsea manager, regards her seventh trophy in eight years at the club as one of the most satisfying, despite the early curtailment of the season and the decision to award the title on a points-per-game formula.
Manchester City were on top of the Women’s Super League by a point when games were suspended due to the
Coronavirus pandemic, but had played a game more than second‑placed Chelsea. Once it was agreed points per game was the fairest way to tidy up, Hayes and her players came out fractionally on top to secure a third title.
Liverpool were relegated and Aston Villa promoted.
