Sam Kerr's five-word reaction to her stunning World Cup goal shows just how deeply England loss has cut the Matildas superstar

Sam Kerr's sublime second-half strike will go down in Aussie sporting folklore, but the striker had a revealing take on the goal after the crushing disappointment of the Matildas' 3-1 defeat to England.

Making her first start of the tournament after overcoming the calf injury that had limited her to just 75 minutes of football at the World Cup, the Matildas skipper delivered when her country needed her most.

With just over an hour played and Australia trailing 1-0 to Ella Toone's brilliant first-half goal, Kerr seized the moment with a long-range shot to level the match in front of 75,000 screaming fans.
