Neil Robertson pots two balls in different pockets as commentators laud ‘trick shot’

Neil Robertson potted two balls in different pockets simultaneously at the World Snooker Championship to the delight of commentators.

Robertson was up against Jak Jones in the competition's second-round clash when he produced a stunning double shot. With Jones up 3-1, Robertson hit two balls at the same time and both of them ended up in different pockets.

And his magical moment impressed commentator Neil Faulds who beamed on Eurosport's coverage: "It's like one of those trick shots you see!". The "trick shot" was just was Robertson needed to spearhead a remarkable comeback as he ended the opening session at 4-4 from his initial 3-1 deficit.

Robertson's match with Jones will be concluded on Friday evening as the players seek a spot in the quarter-final. It's not the first time Robertson's produced what was deemed arguably the 'best positional shot of the decade' in the Champions League in March against Jack Lisowski.

The shot was summed up by one fan who declared: "One of the most satisfying positional shots ever." But Robertson's shot taking appears to be much better than his punctuation as he was fined £250 for being late to Crucible media day last week.

The Australian arrived an hour late to the event and missed the traditional photoshoot along with his peers, but blamed his absence on a crash that happened on the A1.

The 2010 World Championship winner argued: "I was stuck there. It was about 40 miles out of Sheffield. My friend had driven us.

"I have sent World Snooker the pictures. I have the proof on my phone. I set off earlier from my home than I ever had and this is the latest I have been there.

"I once drove to the wrong Barnsley – I put it in my Sat Nav and started driving – and then found out there were three of them in the UK. I have never been late for a Crucible match thankfully." However, The Sun reported that Robertson doesn't plan to accept the fine and will appeal the punishment.
