Arsenal, Liverpool and Rangers flop earns shrewd punter £20,000 from £5 bet

[[{“value”:”

IT was a costly weekend for Arsenal, Liverpool and Rangers in their respective title charges.

But it was a highly profitable Sunday for one genius Ladbrokes punter, who speculatively backed all three to LOSE their games and scooped a sensational £20,000 from just a fiver stake.

That despite the trio being extremely short odds in the winner markets and all needing wins to keep tabs at the top of their tables.

The early kick off came in Scotland, with Ross County (10/1) stunning Rangers at a double-figure price.

The result was even more unexpected when you consider County have NEVER beaten Gers. But they were more than worth the victory to put a severe dent in the Light Blues’ title charge.

Liverpool’s shock defeat at home to Crystal Palace carried on the crazy accumulator, with the Eagles backed at a high price of 12/1.

Eberechi Eze’s goal in the first quarter of an hour was enough for Palace to secure their first win since February to ease relegation fears.

Alongside that kick off was the other selection in the monster four-fold, with Fulham (9/5) backed to beat West Ham.

A double for Andreas Pereira was enough for Fulham in a 2-0 win to ensure the acca rolled over to the final game.

And it was a late and rewarding wait, with Leon Bailey breaking the deadlock on 84 minutes to silence the Emirates and put Arsenal’s title aspirations in jeopardy.

When Ollie Watkins added a sublime second for Aston Villa (9/1) just a few minutes later, the stadium emptied quickly and the party started for the thousands in the away end – and in this punter’s living room.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Not many would’ve seen Sunday’s Premier League games panning out the way they did, let alone the drama up in Scotland.

“But one punter was bang on the money across the four games in question, and is a whopping £20k better off as a result.”
