Luke Molyneux reveals what he was told during goal celebration on his Hartlepool United return against Aldershot Town

Molyneux grabbed a goal and an assist to help Pools claim a 2-0 win at home to Aldershot Town and move into the top 10.

The 21-year-old’s goal was something he’d been thinking about since suffering a serious foot injury back in July.

But when the ball hit the back of the net, Molyneux drew a blank as he admitted: “I was planning a celebration in my head for when I came back and got my first goal but I don’t know where that went!”

The Hartlepool winger ran towards the north west corner and was quickly smothered by his celebrating teammates.

“I didn’t know what to do, I just ran and the emotions just took over a little bit,” he added.

“Ryan was saying to me when I was celebrating just to enjoy it and take it all in, which is exactly what I did. The goal obviously settled things for everyone because it’s not easy when you come up against a team like they were.

“They weren’t the best and you just want to get the pressure taken off you as quickly as possible so you can kick on and luckily we did that straight away with the second goal.

“The gaffer has told me to take any set-plays so it was an all right ball in and a good header from Shelts [Mark Shelton] to be fair!”
