Everton's late goals were worth A LOT to one punter last night

This guy owes Romelu Lukaku a pint.

WE ALL KNOW that football accumulators can be the single most heart-sinking experience for the gambling football fan. Every now and then however we come across one that makes us very jealous and very impressed in equal measure.

One punter was waiting on Everton to beat West Bromwich Albion in last night’s Premier League fixture, and Romelu Lukaku’s man-of-the-match performance at the Hawthorns saw him home.

Yes, you read that correctly. He won £45,865.05 off a £5 accumulator. What makes this story even better is the fact that the lucky punter held his nerve and refused to cash out, even with the Toffees two goals down late on.

That prize money would buy a man 103 Everton season tickets, although we are fairly sure he has his own plans for the winnings.
