A football punter won over £41,000 when his £20 accumulator came in on Saturday


A Sky Bet punter is celebrating becoming over £41,000 richer after two injury-time winners meant his £20 football accumulator delivered on Saturday.

The customer's 10 selections at 2077/1 were made up of Burnley's clash with Watford in the Premier League and nine matches from the Sky Bet EFL, with seven of the games being won by narrow one-goal margins.

They may well have been ready to 'rip up' their virtual betting slip in stoppage time when Oxford were being held by Doncaster and Chesterfield were drawing 1-1 with Barnet.

However, up popped Robbie Weir in the third-minute of injury time to give Chesterfield a dramatic 2-1 victory at the Proact Stadium and give this punter renewed hope of landing a huge payout.

And sure enough that dream became reality when Josh Ruffels struck in the sixth minute of stoppage time as Oxford claimed a 1-0 triumph over Doncaster in League One.
