A 4-2 scoreline doesn’t come along too often in the Premier League.

But one lucky ladbrokes punter managed to correctly predict TWO in an afternoon for a mammoth £12.7k payday!

The plucky Romford customer placed a tenner double on Arsenal and Chelsea BOTH to win their clashes 4-2, at odds of 40/1 and 30/1 respectively — that’s 1,270/1 combined.

Six goals came in the first 45 minutes at Stamford Bridge – all going the way of the punter’s bet.

But remarkably, no more goals were scored in the game, despite Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer missing second-half sitters, AND Marc Cucurella having a strike rightly ruled out by VAR!

But it was over at the Emirates where the bulk of the drama was to come, as the Gunners headed into injury time locked at 2-2 with Leicester City.

That was until Wilfred Ndidi put the ball into his own net in the 94th minute.

The customer looked set to be a goal short of a fortune, as the game rolled into added time of added time, where Arsenal caught Leicester on the counter-attack.

And in the 99th minute, the ball cannoned off Kai Havertz and into the back of the net for a goal which was initially ruled out, then correctly overturned by VAR, to the cool tune of £12,710.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “We can’t even begin to imagine what must have been going on in our punter’s household during the second-half of the 3pms on Saturday…

“There’s no way anyone would’ve backed a goalless 45 minutes at Stamford Bridge, let alone a Leicester comeback, let alone a couple of late defensive calamities at the Emirates.

“Considering this bet only concerned two games, you’ll do well to find a more dramatic win this season. Sensational stuff. Hats off.”
