Mary Fowler's Manchester City clinch WSL title, end Sam Kerr's incredible six-year Chelsea run

Mary Fowler's Manchester City clinched the Women's Super League title on Thursday (AEST) to end Sam Kerr's Chelsea's six-year dominance of the competition.

Third-placed Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Brighton meant City, which has one match remaining, could not be caught in first place.

Matildas striker Caitlin Foord played 83 minutes for Arsenal but did not score.

Arsenal are 10 points behind City and have three games left.

"Absolutely incredible. A moment, we as a team, me personally, us as a club has waited so long for," City captain Alex Greenwood said.

"An incredible moment, it's an incredible feeling. I'm so glad we got to spend this moment together as a group. Just an absolutely incredible feeling."

Greenwood was named City captain in 2024 following club legend Steph Houghton's retirement.

The England international said a shift in the club's culture helped City believe they could win the title.

"There's been moments in the season and a feeling within our four walls where we felt confident. We spoke about being winners, and have been confident to speak like that," she said.

"We've had a bit of a shift in mindset to feel comfortable to speak in that language. That's been a massive difference in our culture.

"We've worked really hard on those small details of acting like champions, playing like champions, speaking like champions.

"Sometimes it's a difficult conversation when you're not actually champions or been there, it's a change in body language and thought process in games. Now we can say it and it's real.

"We are champions. It's one the best feelings I've ever had."
