Emma Hayes and Chelsea were champions for the final time; the “best title” of all, the toughest and the sweetest, sealed with the fairytale finish at Old Trafford. There was only one regret: missing her glass of wine with Sir , who had waited for Hayes while she celebrated a fifth Women’s Super League title in a row. A phone call had to do, from one managerial great to another.
