Porter at the double in Hartlepool win

Gold Coast United-bound striker Joel Porter netted a double in Hartlepool's 3-2 away win over Yeovil Town in England's League One.

The 'Pools main talisman stepped up when required to put home two goals in the first half after going a goal down early in the contest.

In the 13th minute, a clumsy challenge on Porter led to a penalty which he put away coolly, before he put the visitors ahead on the stroke of half-time with a header from close range.

Yeovil managed to equalise in the 57th minute but a 72nd minute Daniel Nardiello header gave Hartlepool the points and some breathing space from the drop zone.
