Mariners youngster KOs teammate in goal celebration fail

Central Coast young gun Harry Ashcroft clocked teammate Jake McGing in the face during a rather overzealous goal celebration against Perth Glory on Thursday night.

The 21-year-old marked his run-on debut by scoring the opening goal of Central Coast's 2-0 victory.

Needless to say the youngster was pretty pumped up, but he almost KO'd McGing while celebrating.
