Matildas captain Sam Kerr warns she is 'only playing at 80 per cent' after hat-trick for Chelsea in Champions League

Sam Kerr is adamant she's still not quite back to her brilliant best, despite a pulsating hat-trick that illuminated Chelsea's Champions League victory over a hapless Paris FC.

'I'm pretty close - but I'm not there yet,' warned Kerr after her treble in Chelsea's 4-1 win at Stamford Bridge.

The recently engaged star agreed with Chelsea boss Emma Hayes' verdict that she's still playing at only '80 per cent' of her capabilities after a frustrating, injury-interrupted spell that stretches back to the Women's World Cup on home soil.
