Goals from Sam Kerr and Guro Reiten ensured that Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Liverpool was not enough for their first triumph.
The Blues also completed the domestic double for the third year running, having seen off the Red Devils to win the FA Cup at Wembley earlier this month.
Chelsea coach praised her squad, and thanked the fans and also gave credit to her supporting staff, following the title win.
She said: “What an unbelievable team I’ve got, lucky me.
“It was really emotional at the end of the game but I was man-marked by the cameraman so I didn’t get the chance to let loose with a few tears.
“For us it’s not just about building a team to compete, it’s about growing — and looking at a wall of six thousand fans today gave me so much joy.
“Some of the players have gone through really tough times with not playing. I have to dispel this misnomer that players aren’t happy when they don’t play — they have the ability to look after themselves and games start coming around and on days like this they know it’s absolutely worth it.
“We are family. These people are as close to me as my family. My entire staff deserve credit and the day as much as anyone.”
