It was a day of celebration and farewells as Women's Super League champions Manchester City wrapped up their title-winning campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory away to West Ham United. Though the top three and the relegation play-off spot were already decided, the final day of the 2025/26 season was packed with emotion, with several players bidding farewell to their clubs—and in some cases, their careers.
One of those saying goodbye was Manchester City midfielder Laura Coombs, who capped her final match with a goal, scoring the fourth for the champions. Jade Rose had opened the scoring, while Bunny Shaw—reportedly heading to Chelsea this summer—added two more to her tally, further cementing her legacy as one of the league's most prolific strikers. Seraina Piubel pulled one back for the Hammers, but City's firepower proved too much.
Speaking of Chelsea, the Blues ended their season with a 1-0 win over Manchester United, thanks to a goal from Sam Kerr, who is rumored to be leaving the WSL for the NWSL. It was a bittersweet finish for the former champions, who not only surrendered their title but also finished third in the table. Arsenal, meanwhile, secured second place with a convincing 3-1 win over Liverpool, powered by a brace from Alessia Russo.
Tottenham Hotspur continued to impress as the "best of the rest," closing out their campaign with a thrilling 2-1 victory away to Brighton & Hove Albion. The highlight came in stoppage time, when Toko Koga scored in spectacular style to seal the win for Spurs.
Drama was the theme of the day elsewhere. London City Lionesses edged Aston Villa 1-0 thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Freya Godfrey in the 93rd minute. And if that wasn't late enough, Everton saved the best for last: Mayumi Pacheco scored in the 96th minute to secure a 1-0 win at home against bottom-of-the-table Leicester City, sending the Goodison Park faithful home with a smile.
From title celebrations to emotional goodbyes and last-gasp winners, the WSL finale had it all—a fitting end to a season defined by passion, talent, and unforgettable moments.
