One lucky punter turned £10 into £17,160 with an outlandish five-fold accumulator, but Manchester City almost ruined the whole bet.

The Betfair punter put his money on Man City to win in both halves and to have more corners in both halves.

However, despite winning 6-1, Pep Guardiola's side went behind when Brandon Hanlan found the net.

Kevin De Bruyne struck back, but City had to wait until the 43rd minute when Riyad Mahrez found the net to put them ahead in the clash.

Phil Foden hit a third before the half-time to put the tie beyond doubt before City hit Wycombe for six.

The punter also had Liverpool to win in both halves and to have more corners in both halves.

Jurgen Klopp's side put three past Crystal Palace, with goals either side of half-time.

He also backed Brentford, who beat Oldham, to win in both halves and to have more corners in both halves.

Like City, Brentford breezed past their opposition, and Thomas Frank's side hit the North West side for seven.

While he also backed Atalanta to beat Sassuolo, and Inter Milan to have over 1.5 match odds.

Atalanta narrowly edged past Sassuolo, and two early goals through wing-backs Robin Gosens and former Chelsea defender Davide Zappacosta.
