Sheffield United fan wins £10k bet after Sky Bet Championship win over Aston Villa


Sheffield United supporters will have been delighted with their victory over Aston Villa on Saturday, one fan more so.

Chris Wilder's side were surprise 4-1 winners at Bramall Lane, with all four of their goals coming inside the opening 50 minutes.

Rather crucially, it was Jack O'Connell who opened the scoring, before Mark Duffy added a deflected second, Oliver Norwood made it three and Billy Sharp sent in the fourth.

One Blades fan will even have been delighted to see Anwar El-Ghazi net a consolation for Villa on 61 minutes.

With around half an hour left to play, the fan in question will have been praying it stayed the same scoreline as he kept an eye on his £5 bet.

The Sky Bet punter backed O'Connell to score first and Sheffield United to win 4-1 at odds of 2000/1 and it successfully came in.

His returns totalled £10,005 to cap off a fine matchday in South Yorkshire.
