Chelsea’s women’s team completes domestic treble in England
LONDON (AP) — Chelsea won the Women’s FA Cup on Sunday to clinch a domestic treble for the first time. Australia striker Sam Kerr scored a second-half double as Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 victory over Arsenal in the delayed final of the competition at Wembley Stadium. Fran Kirby had given Chelsea a third-minute lead. Chelsea also won last season’s Women’s Super League title and the League Cup. The match took place exactly 100 years to the day since England’s Football Association banned women from playing football on league-affiliated grounds because it deemed it “most unsuitable” for them to play the game. The ban lasted nearly 50 years.
