• Australian striker Samantha Kerr delivered the winning goal and celebrated with a backflip
• Fans are now comparing the success of the women's team to the struggles of the men's team

Chelsea Women did the club proud after beating Manchester United Women 1-0 to win the Vitality Women’s FA Cup at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

The men's team has struggled for consistency and will have had four managers by the end of the season, with Mauricio Pochettino set to come in ahead of the next term.

According to BBC Sports, the women’s team achievement came before a record crowd for a domestic women’s game in England. A crowd of 77,390 people attended the final - an increase of almost 30,000 from last year.
