England Women defender Laura Bassett has conceded that she was overwhelmed with emotion following her heartbreaking own goal in her side's World Cup semi-final defeat to Japan.
The 31-year-old sliced the ball into the back of her own net in stoppage time in Edmonton to hand Norio Sasaki's team a place in the final.
Bassett was inconsolable at the final whistle, but has thanked her teammates for their support in helping her get over the incident.
She told BBC Sport: "I have to say a big, big thank you to my teammates. We've come on a long journey. The togetherness we've created and team spirit hasn't just happened overnight.
"It's been a long journey for all of us. It's been overwhelming. I'd change [the ending] in a heartbeat if I could.
"Some people have said I kind of lack emotion and nine out of 10 times I'd agree with that. Something took over me, I was out of control. I just wanted to get off there, I just wanted to cry and be on my own."
England face Germany in the third-place playoff on Saturday.
