VIDEO: Chelsea star Sam Kerr sends hilarious message to Arsenal forward who played massive role in helping Blues win fifth-straight WSL title

Gareth Taylor's Manchester City led the WSL title race until the penultimate matchday when they took on Arsenal. Until the 89th minute of that match, it seemed that City would take that title lead into the last matchday as well before a three-minute brace from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/winners-losers-arsenal-emma-hayes-chelsea-man-city-womens-super-league-title/blt140fdb8728d5e540" target="_blank">Blackstenius turned the game around and gave the Gunners a 2-1 win</a>. On the larger scheme, it gave Chelsea the lead in the league on goal difference. On the last matchday, Chelsea's 6-0 win against Manchester United meant City faltered to Chelsea due to goal difference.
