Sky Bet punter wins over £20k from a £3 football acca


One lucky Sky Bet punter won over £20,000 from just a £3 football accumulator on Saturday.

The customer placed a £3 treble on both teams scoring in both halves in Chelsea v Tottenham (18/1), Hibernian v Aberdeen (18/1) and Crawley v Carlisle (18/1).

The winning bet was sealed during the thrilling FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, where Chelsea led 2-1 at the break after Willian scored a brace either side Harry Kane's 18th-minute effort before both sides struck three more times between them as the Blues ran out 4-2 victors.

Much earlier in the day, the Sky Bet punter looked as though his luck was out when the Scottish Cup semi-final between Hibernian and Aberdeen was heading for extra-time with the scores level at 2-2.

Aberdeen had scored both their goals in the first half but with four minutes remaining, Darren McGregor put through his own net to keep the bet alive.

The punter then breathed another sigh of relief when Crawley Town's Jimmy Smith struck in the second minute of stoppage time to salvage a 3-3 draw with Carlisle. His side's previous goals were both in the first half.

And so for the drama at Wembley, where Eden Hazard's 75th-minute goal clinched this lucky punter's huge pay day of £20,577!
