Laura Bassett’s Mother Insists She Will ‘Bounce Back’

The mother of Laura Bassett has insisted that her daughter will “bounce back” after scoring the injury-time own goal that cost England a place in the World Cup final.
“She’s had big moments in her footballing career before and with her family and the footballing colleagues she’s got round her, she will get through it and bounce back.”
Bassett was in tears after slicing an intended clearance into her own net in the 2-1 defeat by Japan and, asked what went through her mind when the goal went in, Marie Bassett said: “It was a surreal moment but everything seemed to stop. Was it a goal, was it not?
“And then we saw the reaction, Laura’s reaction, the Japanese reaction, and then when I saw my daughter crying, that was it. Not good, not good.
