MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -A virtuoso performance from striker Mayra Ramirez set Chelsea on course for a 6-0 rout of Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday to secure a record fifth successive Women's Super League title in coach Emma Hayes's last game in charge.

Chelsea finished the season on 55 points, level with Manchester City but seven ahead of them on goal difference, and the final whistle prompted an outpouring of joy from the travelling fans as Hayes got the send-off she deserved.
