WATCH: Usain Bolt Scores Stunning Goal In World XI's Win Over England In Soccer Aid 2023, Recreates Marcus Rashford's Celebration

The Fastest Man' on the planet Usain Bolt scored a stunning goal in World XI vs England Soccer Aid 2023.

The annual charity game, Soccer Aid for UNICEF, returned at the Old Trafford on Sunday (June 11) for the first time since 2019 and saw the World XI taking on the England team in what was entertaining fixture. Several legends of Manchester United featured in this all-star match with the likes of Patrice Evra, Darren Fletcher, Nani, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes among others all played in this fixture at what was once their home turf. While Scholes came in as a half-time substitute for England and allowed them to get back into the game, albeit momentarily, his attempt came following a sensational goal from Usain Bolt.

Plying his trade for the World XI in this fixture, 'The Fastest Man' on the planet and the Olympic record-holder sprinter found himself timing his run perfectly to take the Francesco Totti pass and then doing the rest, beating the keeper to score. He then emulated current United star Marcus Rashford's celebration as he pointed to his temple. Later, United star also reacted to Bolt's celebration and took to Twitter to share his thoughts.

Here is Bolt's goal and the celebration that followed:



While the World XI had taken the lead thanks to this first half goal from Bolt, Scholes, at 48, was in great form and not only played a part in netting the equaliser, he then put England ahead with a top-notch goal from 20 yards to make the scoreline 2-1. However, soon after Scholes left the pitch injured, the complexion of the game changed again and a brace from Robbie Keane along with a goal from Kem Cetinay helped the World XI side register their fourth successive win.

Moments after the full-time whistle it was announced that the event had raised over £14 million in funds for UNICEF. Stamford Bridge, the Etihad Stadium and the London Stadium were the other venues where this charity game was played since 2019 which was the last time the "Theatre of Dreams" hosted this game.
