Lucky punter wins massive 1000/1 bet on Man City vs Leicester game

What a shout this was!

Ben Kenyon

Why the f**k didn’t we think of this?

One Sky Bet punter slapped £10 on Leicester City to beat Man City at the Etihad 3-1 with giant defender Robert Huth to score first.

Sky Bet must have thought this was an easy tenner for them – so they gave the mystery better odds of 1000/1.

Huth scored after three minutes and then hit Leicester’s third after 60 minutes – but we can’t imagine the scenes as Aguero made it 3-1 in the dying minutes.

It turns out he was the only Sky Bet customer to correctly predict the first goal scorer and the result from the top-of-the-table clash.

What a call it was too! The punter is now a cool £10,000 richer thanks to Huth and Co.

We imagine the lad that stuck a cheeky fiver on Leicester for the title at 5000/1 is probably getting a bit giddy right now as the Foxes pull six points clear.
