Punter wins over £17k from a £10 treble thanks to Barca losing and Jamal Lewis scoring in stoppage time


One lucky Sky Bet punter scooped over £17k from a £10 football treble thanks to Espanyol beating Barcelona and Jamal Lewis netting a last-gasp stoppage-time goal.

The customer's three in-play selections were Espanyol to beat Barcelona 1-0 at 22/1, Neymar to score the eighth goal in PSG's clash with Dijon at 6/1 and Chelsea to draw with Norwich at 10/1.

The first part of his bet was obviously a long shot given Barca were on a 29-match unbeaten run but after Lionel Messi missed a penalty, the unfancied hosts grabbed an unlikely winner when Oscar Melendo Jimenez popped up in the 88th minute.

There was even more drama in the FA Cup clash at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea were on the brink of reaching the fourth-round with a 1-0 win over plucky Norwich before 19-year-old Lewis netted his first senior goal deep in the 94th minute to force extra-time.

The Canaries went on to lose on penalties but for this punter, they'd done all he needed.

A huge payout of £17,710 was complete thanks to Neymar netting his fourth and PSG's eighth in their 8-0 rout of Dijon.
