Sam Kerr has a very surprising reaction to player of the match award as her goal steers Chelsea to FA Cup glory - and Blues boss says she's never coached anyone like the Matildas superstar

For more than hour at Wembley, Sam Kerr had fed on scraps, chasing lost causes and long balls, as Manchester United dominated the English Women's FA Cup final.

Then, at last, Chelsea sliced through the red wall of defenders. As Pernille Harder broke down the right, Kerr peeled away into space, anticipated the cross, and stabbed it past FIFA Best Women's Goalkeeper of the Year Mary Earps.

It was Kerr's fifth goal in three FA Cup finals, and her 10th in six domestic finals with Chelsea, celebrated with her trademark backflip somersault.
