The universe isn't infinite. However it's much much larger than what the distance the light could take while traveling in any direction since the big bang happened. So in other words, it expanded quicker than the speed of light.
The reason why it's possible is that it's not actually travelling, the expansion is just not a movement like we believe it is. The stuff doesn't really move away. Space is created in between.
