Punter nails nine Premier League weekend matches to turn £2 into small fortune

A Premier League fan managed to turn just £2 into a whopping £5,800 over the weekend after correctly predicting every result.

The supporter, who wasn't named by Ladbrokes, predicted the outcome of every game in a nine-fold bet.

The bet started off with Manchester City's win over West Ham on Saturday, with Pep Guardiola's side beating the Hammers 2-1 in the first game of the weekend.

West Brom's win over Brighton followed that up, while Aston Villa then beat Leeds United away from home to make it three from three.

The bettor also predicted Newcastle's draw with fellow strugglers Wolves, meaning the bet slip was still active going into Sunday.

Crystal Palace's draw with Fulham was also correctly predicted, as was Arsenal's away win over Leicester City.

Tottenham thrashed Burnley in one of the more predictable results of the weekend, with Gareth Bale scoring twice.

Chelsea then held Manchester United to a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge – despite being controversially denied a penalty after Callum Hudson-Odoi appeared to handle the ball inside the area.

And a Ladbrokes spokesperson referenced Stuart Atwell's decision not to award a penalty in a statement.

Alex Apaldi of Ladbrokes said: "Hats off to our plucky punter who somehow managed to correctly guess the result of every Prem game this weekend."

"Brighton missed two penalties and had a controversial goal disallowed, while Man United may have felt hard done by having not been given a penalty – not that our punter minds one bit!"
