Usain Bolt scores two goals for Central Coast Mariners

Usain Bolt scores his first goals for a professional football team, getting two on his maiden start for Central Coast Mariners.

After speeding past a defender Bolt slotted the ball under the goalkeeper, celebrating with his trademark lightning bolt pose. The eight-time Olympic champion then scored his second and his side's fourth goal, tapping in from close range.

The 100m and 200m world record holder joined the A-League side Mariners in August for an "indefinite training period".

Bolt retired from athletics after the 2017 World Championships and has been eager to forge a new career in professional football.
