Super Sub Sunday: Paddy Power Hit for Six as Spurs Victory Brings Massive Wins
What a weekend for Manchester United’s opponents, as Tottenham Hotspur rolled into Old Trafford and dominated the Red Devils 3-0. But while Erik ten Hag’s team were left licking their wounds, one lucky punter walked away with a sweet £16,400 haul from a £10 Multi-Match Bet Builder. And they weren’t alone, as over 16,000 other bets banked big-time thanks to a certain Super Sub’s antics.
Morgan Rogers was the first piece of the puzzle, finding the net in Aston Villa’s 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town. From there, it was onto Old Trafford, where our lucky punter needed two specific players to be cautioned – Lucas Digne and Jacob Greaves delivered the goods. Diogo Dalot’s first-half booking took care of the next box, and then it was up to Dominic Solanke to score or assist in the second half. But the real hero of the day was Djed Spence, who came on in the 54th minute and earned his side a vital yellow card just nine minutes later.
As we mentioned earlier, over 9.5k other bets landed thanks to Spence’s booking, and Paddy Power’s traders took a massive hit. A whopping £1.6 million was paid out in a single day, making this one of the biggest win days in recent memory for the bookmakers.
"A day like yesterday is why we love our job!" said a Paddy Power spokesperson. "We often get made to look silly, but we take it with a smile and keep on going. And at the end of the day, it’s all part of the game. Yesterday was a red letter day for Paddy’s punters, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds."
It’s clear that Paddy Power’s punters enjoyed a wild ride, but we’re just as curious to see what other drama the Premier League has in store for us. So, stay tuned for all the latest news, stats, and analysis, and follow us on all social media platforms for more updates!
