'It's just one step in the journey towards the World Cup': Sam Kerr celebrates Matildas win over England. Read more about the victory here:
Sam Kerr celebrates after scoring the team's first goal with teammates during the Women's International Friendly match between England and Australia at Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, England.Sam Kerr hopes Australia has woken up delighted to the news that her Matildas, inspired by her own striking brilliance, have earned a sensational 2-0 triumph over England.
Then she turned provider after the break, her pinpoint cross headed home by Charlotte Grant, via a deflection off the hapless Williamson, to hand the European champions their first defeat in 31 matches.It was an extraordinary result, carved out against all the odds by an injury-hit team on a miserable, rain-drenched night in London which perfectly demonstrated coach Tony Gustavsson's belief that the Matildas need fear no-one at their home World Cup in July.
Vine herself had to come off late with an apparent calf knock but she had combined sweetly with the magnificent Kerr, who herself ended hobbling with a "sore foot" . With the rain driving down, the Matildas never looked remotely overawed, even though they were without 10 important players.She had barely had a sniff for the first 32 minutes but when Clare Hunt hoofed a long ball forward, she was on to her opposing captain Williamson like a hawk, shadowing her and anticipating that she'd try to nod the ball back to keeper Mary Earps.
