Usain Bolt once again impressed during the annual Soccer Aid charity football match on Sunday. The fastest man on the planet caused all sorts of problems for England's defense: opposition players struggled to deal with his lethal pace over the course of match organized by UNICEF.
The game, which was held at Manchester United's Old Trafford, saw the Soccer Aid World XI defeat England for the fifth successive year.
Bolt proved to be a devasting force for Mauricio Pochettino's men. The new Chelsea boss, who was signed up by Soccer Aid long before his appointment at the London club, decided to deploy the Jamaican at left wing, and it proved to be a master stroke.
It took the 100- and 200-meter runner just eight minutes to have his first dangerous effort of the game. After looking to exploit England's high line, Bolt timed his run to perfection as his blistering pace was found by a beautifully weighted Hernan Crespo pass. Bolt latched onto the ball and pulled the trigger from the left sight of the 18-year-box. He slightly dragged the shot, and it went just wide of the right post.
His early chance pretty much set the tone for the rest of the match. In the 23rd minute, Bolt broke the deadlock with a clinical finish past David James after once again exploiting the left flank.
The second half was packed full of goals: England managed to turn the scoreline around with goals from Asa Butterfield and Paul Scholes, before Robbie Keane netted a brace in 6 minutes. Kem Cetinay confirmed the away team's victory with a goal late on.
£14,619,005 was raised in total for UNICEF thanks to the match.
