On an action-packed weekend where most of the focus fell on Sunday thanks to Manchester City's headline meeting with Arsenal, one punter enjoyed a Saturday to remember after pocketing £50,000 via a near 2,500/1 acca.
The London-based Ladbrokes customer included a huge 15 games from across Europe in their both teams to score coupon, and unsurprisingly endured plenty of drama.
It had looked like being a case of what might have been, as so many acca stories are, until Ipswich's 95th-minute corner at Southampton was only cleared as far as Sam Morsy, whose screaming effort found the top corner to earn the Tractor Boys a crucial point and keep the bet alive heading into a later kick-off.
It all hinged on Lens' trip to Rennes in France's top flight.
Arnaud Kalimuendo's penalty gave the hosts the lead in the first half, and it would stay that way until the dying seconds.
A goalmouth scramble deep in stoppage time eventually saw M'Bala Nzola bundle the ball home before a lengthy VAR check still left both Lens and our punter sweating.
With the goal awarded, a £20 acca paid out £49,679.93.
