Lucky Sky Bet punter wins over £35,000 off a £30 12-team football accumulator on Sunday


One lucky Sky Bet football punter struck gold on Sunday when his £30 'both teams to score' accumulator scooped him an incredible £37,857.

And he had Wayne Rooney to thank after one of his 12 selected matches involved Everton's trip to Brighton, where the former England captain struck a 90th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw!

Rooney's goal only came after Brighton's Anthony Knockaert had broken the deadlock as late as the 82nd minute in the lunchtime kick-off so this punter's bet so nearly didn't even get off the ground.

He also picked Southampton's clash with Newcastle, which finished 2-2, while the other 10 matches spanned Spain's LaLiga & Segunda Division, France's Ligue 1 and Italy's Serie A but none of them really made him sweat.
