Chelsea manager Emma Hayes has conceded the Women's Super League title after her side's dramatic 4-3 loss to Liverpool - meaning she is set to end her historic spell at the Blues without a farewell trophy.
The Blues have endured a horrendous last month after suffering defeats in the Champions League, FA Cup semi-finals and Continental Cup final - and their season got even worse as Gemma Bonner scored an injury-time winner for Liverpool despite Chelsea equalising twice.
"I have amazing memories of this football club and we won a lot of things and I'd love to win titles again for Chelsea. But that's not going to be this year I'm afraid. My job now is to prepare the team for the last few games to continue to compete and enjoy.
"We will never give up, but the title is far from us. It's not in our hands. City deserve it, their consistency has put them in that position. We will go to the end but I don't think the title will be heading to us this year."
