Harry Maguire’s controversial Man Utd FA Cup winner lands punter incredible £83,000 Friday night acca win

The mystery Ladbrokes customer is the new member of Harry Maguire's fan club after winning him just under £83,000

ONE lucky Ladbrokes punter celebrated Harry Maguire's controversial late, late Manchester United winner, after it bagged him a sensational win of his own.

The sensational bookie-bashing, five-fold secured them just shy of £83,000 from a £100 stake on just four games on Friday night.

The winning bet

Ladbrokes

Friday night five-fold

  • Northampton Town to beat Mansfield Town - 17/5
  • Man United to beat Leicester and Both Teams to Score - 29/20
  • Rayo Vallecano v Real Valladolid - Draw at half-time/Rayo Vallecano full-time - 14/5
  • Bayern Munich v Werder Bremen - Draw at half-time/Bayern Munich full-time - 17/5
  • Como v Juventus - Draw at half-time/Juventus full-time - 18/5

ODDS - 828.11/1

TOTAL STAKE - £100

TOTAL RETURNS - £82,911.14

The London-based customer successfully predicted the outcome of five games played across Friday night with a mixture of selections to add up to the 828.11/1 odds.

That included United's FA Cup tie with Leicester where they had selected United to win and both teams to score.

And it was no shock to see Ruben Amorim's side once again flop to fall behind.

They got back level through Joshua Zirkzee before Maguire's 93rd minute header from an offside position.

The linesman's outrageous decision - coupled with VAR having a rest during the cup ties this weekend - to allow the goal to stand played into the hands of this plucky punter.

But their luck didn't stop there with one down and four more to go.

Three others landed comfortably with Northampton Town to beat Mansfield Town (17/5) and then two half-time/full-time results.

Rayo Vallecano vs Real Valladolid Draw HT/Rayo Vallecano FT (14/5) and Bayern Munich vs Werder Bremen Draw HT/Bayern Munich FT (17/5) also landed.

And a similar selection in the Juventus game looked set to burst it until Como netted an equaliser in first-half injury-time.

Needing Juve to win, Kolo Muani then netted a game-winning penalty in the 89th minute for the visitors to secure three points for them and a monster win for the bettor.

Their £100 stake returned £82,911.14!

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: ";Lady Luck was smiling down – and then some – on one Ladbrokes customer on Friday night.

"As if a first-half injury-time Como goal and a last-gasp Juve penalty weren't enough good fortune, a hugely controversial winner was the difference between an unlucky acca and a mouthwatering £83,000... Harry Maguire's Fan Club definitely has a new member!"
