Ji So-yun scored two sensational late goals as WSL 1 champions Chelsea ended the campaign unbeaten after coming back from 2-0 down to beat Liverpool.
Jess Clarke converted Caroline Weir’s pull back from close range to put the Reds ahead in the first minute and Niamh Charles got a second soon after.
Eni Aluko then got one back on her final appearance for Chelsea.[1]
But Ji levelled with an excellent right-footed volley before curling home a left-footed winner soon after.
Chelsea end the 18-game season with 13 wins and five draws as they finished six points clear of Manchester City.
