In front of Serena, Chelsea wins Women's FA Cup at Wembley to clinch domestic treble

LONDON (AP) — With tennis great Serena Williams in attendance, Chelsea completed a trophy treble in an unbeaten domestic season in English soccer by defeating Manchester United 3-0 in the Women’s FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Williams watched the match at England’s national soccer stadium in London while sitting alongside her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who announced on Wednesday he had bought a stake in Chelsea’s women’s team. It’s reportedly a 10% stake for about 20 million pounds ($26.5 million).

Ohanian is now part of a club that is the dominant force in the English women’s game, adding the FA Cup to its League Cup and a sixth straight Women’s Super League this season.
