Third-place Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Brighton meant City, which has one match remaining, could not be caught in first place.

City, which didn't qualify for this season's Women's Champions League, has been top of the standings since Nov. 9.

Swedish coach Andrée Jeglertz led City to the title in his first season at the club after joining from Denmark's national team.
