World Sevens Football fixtures, schedule, teams and how to watch live on Sky Sports

Chelsea are the winners of the UK's first World Sevens Football tournament after beating Manchester United in an 11-goal thriller.

The tournament, which saw eight WSL and WSL2 teams compete against each other, began on Thursday and was broadcast live on Your Site.

Chelsea conceded first in Sunday's final and found themselves 4-1 behind at one stage before Sonia Bompastor's side rallied to go into half-time level at 4-4.

Man Utd went ahead again soon after the restart but Chelsea refused to be beaten and, with just over two minutes remaining, Aggie Beever-Jones made it 5-5 before displaying a sensational piece of individual brilliance to score the winner in the final 20 seconds.

So, what is the World Sevens? From the teams involved to the results and format, here's all you need to know...

World Sevens is a seven-a-side women's football tournament. It is billed as a faster, more entertaining type of football.

Matches are played on a pitch half of the size of a regular one. Each game lasts 30 minutes, divided into two halves of 15 minutes each, with extra-time for a draw. There is a five-minute half-time break.

There are also unlimited rolling substitutions and no offside rule.

The most recent tournament took place at the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford over three days from Thursday May 28 to Saturday May 30. It was the first to be played in England and the third World Sevens iteration overall.

The previous two editions were played in Estoril, Portugal and won by Bayern Munich, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA and won by San Diego Wave.

Manchester United played in the World Sevens for the second time, and were joined by Chelsea, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Everton, London City Lionesses and West Ham from the WSL, and recently relegated Leicester.

The top two in each group went through to the semi-finals and then final.
