Matildas urged not to get carried away after stunning result against England
The Guardian says A memorable win over England has given Australia a huge boost ahead of the Women’s World Cup on home soil, but Sam Kerr immediately warned against getting carried away with the result after the Matildas captain put in another star turn.
Australia bounced back from a 1-0 defeat to Scotland in the first of two international friendlies in the UK last week, with Kerr returning to the side in Brentford to score one and make another in a memorable 2-0 win over the reigning European champions and world No 4 team.
Coach Tony Gustavsson sent out a side heavily weakened by injury, but Kerr’s first-half opener and a second from Charlotte Grant after the break secured the victory that finally snapped England’s 30-match unbeaten run with 100 days to go before the start of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
