The title was sealed two games ago, yet Sonia Bompastor had consistently reiterated her desire to end the season as invincibles. There was a job for the Blues to do in front of our supporters.

In truth, what took place during the 90 minutes is unlikely to live too long in the memory. However, in the six minutes that were added at the end of the second period, Beever-Jones was set free by Ashley Lawrence and fired home.

It meant the trophy was lifted in the Stamford Bridge sun with another three points in hand. It was a fitting end to the campaign.

Changes made

Bompastor made nine changes to the team that started against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, with Millie Bright, Lucy Bronze and Sandy Baltimore among those brought back into the starting XI.

There was a party atmosphere inside Stamford Bridge, and we went close to taking the lead within 15 minutes. Sjoeke Nusken played a dangerous ball across the six-yard box, which beat the Liverpool defence, but Beever-Jones was unable to turn it in at the far post.

Another chance came and went when Baltimore twisted and turned on the right wing, beating her defender to put a cross into the box, but Rachel Laws made the save from Nusken's header.

There was danger shortly before half time when Olivia Smith beat Naomi Girma to a long ball forward. She would've been in a one-on-one situation with Hannah Hampton, but the USA international did just enough to make the Smith hesitate, and allow Hampton to race forward and clear.

The Reds tried the same trick again when Marie Hobinger pounced on another long pass and attempted to chip Hampton. Her shot was high of the target.

At the other end, Baltimore popped up on the left-hand side, got to the by-line, and lifted a perfectly weighted cross into the box. Wieke Kaptein just couldn't get the ball out from under her feet in time to deliver a shot that would threaten Laws.

Into the second half and substitute Johanna Rytting Kaneryd was a lively presence on the right. She fashioned a chance for Baltimore, whose shot from 18 yards flew inches wide of the post.

Both sides had half-chances as the second period progressed. After some determined work from Erin Cuthbert on the wing, Catarina Macario headed wide of the target. Liverpool's Gemma Bonner also missed a headed chance.

There was one final chance for the Blues to seal victory. Lawrence did well to reclaim possession in the Chelsea half and she exchanged passes with Beever-Jones, who then set off upfield

Lawrence saw the England international's run, slipped the ball through beyond the Liverpool defence, and Beever Jones was able to sprint through and fire a shot beyond Rachael Laws at the near post.

It was the perfect way to end the dayand raised the atmosphere inside Stamford Bridge ahead of the trophy lift. Chelsea, champions again.
