One incredibly lucky punter won £10,005 last night after Virgil van Dijk scored in the last minute to help the Netherlands qualify for the Nations League Finals.

The lucky winner needed Wijnaldum, Hummels and Kroos to all be booked and hope van Dijk bagged for his international team.

Hummels was the first to be booked in the 14th minute before Wijnaldum joined him in the referee's book 24 minutes later.

Things got interesting in the 52nd minute when Tony Kroos was booked for Germany.

This meant that for the bet to win, all that was needed was a van Dijk goal.

Going into the last 10 minutes of the match, time was running out for the bet to land.

With the Netherlands needed at least a point to qualify, they sent van Dijk forward with the score at 2-1 with 5 minutes to go.

In stoppage time, the Liverpool defender struck a sweet striker to make the Dutch fans go crazy.

However, there's no doubt the person who celebrated van Dijk's goal the most was the incredible lucky punter who just bagged himself a mammoth £10k
