Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones scored to secure Chelsea a 2-0 win over a poor Man Utd as Sonia Bompastor's side retained the Women's League Cup.
James' first-half strike against her former club after a Dominique Janssen mistake put her side in control, and substitute Beever-Jones netted on 75 minutes, allowing the Blues to cruise to victory in their seventh consecutive final in the competition.
Man Utd's lacklustre performance saw them succumb to their 16th loss in 20 games against their opponents as their wait for a second piece of major silverware goes on.
A frenetic start to the game produced early chances for both sides, but it was Chelsea who took the lead after Janssen's miscued back-pass sent James one-on-one with the keeper, and the England winger made no mistake as she dispatched a near-post finish past a flailing Phallon Tullis-Joyce in the Man Utd goal.
Marc Skinner's side, despite being second-best, almost responded on the brink of half-time when Ellen Wangerheim failed to convert a tantalising Melvine Malard cross from point-blank range in their best chance of the opening period.
Chelsea, who had taken control of the second half after an early flurry of Man Utd chances, suffered a blow when Nathalie Bjorn broke down in tears after suffering a severe non-contact calf injury two minutes into her first substitute appearance since November.
But a determined Beever-Jones then latched onto a dangerous Johanna Kaneyrd cross to toe-poke home and put the game beyond the Red Devils' reach.
A flurry of stoppage-time chances - the best falling to Malard - proved too little, too late for Skinner's side as Chelsea held out to deservedly win their fourth Women's League Cup title.
