Outstanding stuff from @PerthGloryFC – congratulations on progressing to the @WLeague GF! That was an epic game; the drama, the extra-time goals, the hatty from @samkerr1 – brilliant. Commiserations to the Premiers, @victorywleague – you put on a great show. ✊#MVCvPER

Wow, it's Sam Kerr again. This time a chipped effort to put Perth back ahead again.

Was obvious in the first half that Kerr was determined to make an impact on this match. Now has two goals and an assist. Perth 3-2 Melbourne in the 98th minute.

Excuse me. There is a very small girl scoring all the goals at the #BRIvSYD half-time kiddies game. Every time she scores she does a @samkerr1 backflip. The crowd is going wild #ThisGirlCan https://t.co/gspk1Gtnyn

And fans lapped up the Kerr masterclass.

The game is winding down, and sure there has been a hat-trick and a back flip, but have you ever watched Sam Kerr with a shot follow run backwards into the arms of her disciples? pic.twitter.com/9wZkEzyjet

Having watched Sam Kerr's hat-trick this morning, can't help but feel both Man City and Chelsea would benefit from her so much. Both have great attacking players, but they don't have a Sam Kerr.

That second goal, then the backflip after the third? Yup, I'm a fan of Sam Kerr now https://t.co/4svcHwr384

As a fan of Sam Kerr’s opposition you’d be nervous here but if this was NWSL you’d be absolutely bricking it waiting for that nailed-on late game brace or hatty.
