Speaking after yesterday's game, Aluko said: ‘I'm so proud of my team-mates and the club. This team expects silverware and we've delivered it.

‘It's a shame Emma [Hayes] wasn't here, but she's got more important things to worry about. We FaceTimed her as soon as we could – she was in bed and I'm sure she was very excited. For her to lead this team to a Double whilst pregnant says everything about her character and who she is. It's an amazing message to women all over the world.

‘We're a very good team at not playing the occasion. The message is always to the do the right things technically and tactically – you can enjoy the occasion afterwards.

‘I couldn't think of a better way to end the season than with another trophy. To do the Double for a second time is amazing. We expect to win and we've delivered again.’

On the international stage, Aluko has enjoyed a major career, making her England debut aged just 17, playing for Team GB at the London Olympics and winning her 100th England cap in March 2016.

Chelsea would like to thank Eni for her tremendous career at the club. We hope she enjoys the final game of the season on Sunday and wish her all the best for the future.
