Chelsea Women manager Emma Hayes hailed her group after they "painted Wembley blue" by beating Arsenal to win the Women's FA Cup.
The Blues ran out 3-0 victors against their London rivals, starting to lead the pack inside only three minutes through Fran Kirby.
They then, at that point, botched a hatful of opportunities, prior to multiplying their lead not long before the hour mark as Sam Kerr scored.
The Australian seized a second late on as Chelsea won the deferred FA Cup last from last season to get a home-grown high pitch.
"I thought we got it right on target. We anticipated what they planned to do – and they did what we thought they planned to do," said Hayes. "We've painted Wembley blue, today's unquestionably a Chelsea day and our exhibition was totally great.
"The front two were mind boggling. I said to Fran it was the best game I've seen her play for Chelsea and Sam's certainty is developing. In any case, everyone had their influence, did the work we requested that they do and we completely merited being champs.
"To think we are high pitch champs, it is an astounding accomplishment – you can't ask anything else from the players and I am very pleased with them, the staff and the club. We have constructed this group throughout an extensive stretch of time and I think today we showed why we are champions."
