Laura Bassett reveals that she is still deeply upset by her own goal in stoppage time and wishes that no-one knew her name.

Laura Bassett has said that she wishes no-one knew her name after her own goal in stoppage time knocked England out of the World Cup.

The England defender's interception ended up in her own net, sending England out of the Women's World Cup in Canada, losing 2-1 to Japan in the semi-finals.

Bassett admits that she still replays the moment in her head and that it is still extremely raw for her to talk about.

"To be honest I'd prefer no-one to know Laura Bassett's name. I'd prefer everyone to know Mark Sampson and Steph Houghton's name and they be lifting that trophy," she told Sky Sports News.

"Not a moment goes by that I don't replay the moment. Talking about it brings back all the emotions. It's still really raw. Even seeing everybody, the look in their faces, of my family, just reminds me that the dream of winning the World Cup is over.

"It just hurts so much. My heart sank. It's the most horrendous feeling and I'd do anything to take the moment away."

England head coach Mark Sampson has confirmed that Bassett will start in their third-place playoff against Germany on Saturday.
