OUMAR NIASSE'S match-winning double for Everton at the weekend ensured a Ladbrokes customer turned a £5 acca into a £12k fortune.

The plucky online punter correctly predicted the outcome of 10 football matches from across Europe and one rugby union game, but while 10 of his 11 selections came in with relative ease, he was biting his fingernails with 13 minutes to go at Goodison Park.



The Toffees were 1-0 down and 14/1 shots to pick up all three points before the super sub snatched an equaliser. His second came five minutes later and ensured this customer's bet came in - to the sound of a cool £12,437.28.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Plenty of eyebrows were raised when Koeman turned to Niasse at the weekend - and our lucky punter must've thought he was going to miss out on a huge win. But the Senegalese striker is the main reason Everton fans are celebrating and our customer is £12k better off!"
