Lucky football punter scoops £63,000 from £5 bet thanks to FOUR last-minute goals in amazing turnaround | The Sun

A LUCKY football punter turned £5 into £63,000 on Saturday thanks to four late goals in the National League.

The Ladbrokes punter had backed Over 2.5 Goals/Over 3.5 Goals/Over 1.5 Goals in no less than 18 matches across the National League, National League North and National League South.

And while 15 of those games landed with relative ease, the customer was incredibly lucky with the remaining three.

The clash between Aldershot and Barnet looked as though the points were to be shared with the score at 1-1 until Inih Effiong scored in the 90th minute to put Aldershot ahead.

The hosts then went on to extend their lead to 3-1 before the full-time whistle.

Elsewhere, Chippenham Town's Jordan Young found a last-gasp winner against Dartford in the 92nd minute to keep the bet alive.

And Slough Town earned all three points against Hampton and Richmond courtesy of a 90th minute winner from Imran Kayani.

The lucky punter landed a whopping £62,896.69 in what has been dubbed "one of the most dramatic bets of the season" when Kayani's decisive goal hit the back of the net.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Our plucky punter has shown there's value in the lower leagues, landing a whopping acca at odds of over 12,500/1 in what has to go down as one of the most dramatic bets we'll likely see this season.

"We can only assume some of the winnings will be spent on a Slough Town shirt with Imran Kayani's name on the back!"
