Bruno Fernandes' late goal wins punter life-changing sum from incredible free bet as every selection comes in

The United captain scored during his side's FA Cup fifth round penalty shootout defeat against Fulham on Sunday.

One lucky punter won a staggering amount of cash thanks to Bruno Fernandes’ goal against Fulham on Sunday - but there's a twist.

Fernandes, 30, scored on 71 minutes to level the scores after Fulham defender Calvin Bassey had put his side ahead on the stroke of half time.

For the United fans inside the ground, the Portuguese’s strike merely levelled the scores and proved to be worth very little in the end as Ruben Amorim’s team lost 4-3 on penalties and dropped out of this year’s edition of the FA Cup.

However, Fernandes’ goal has proved life-changing for one punter, or so it seems.

Linda from Liverpool won Sky’s Super 6 after correctly predicting six scores from the weekend’s fixtures, and did not have to put forward a stake as the game is free to play.

The correct predictions – which are listed below – secured her £250,000.

Bournemouth 1-1 Wolves

QPR 1-2 Sheffield United

Middlesbrough 1-0 Derby

Man City 3-1 Plymouth

Newcastle 1-1 Brighton

Man Utd 1-1 Fulham

(Results in 90 minutes, not after extra time or penalties).

But, it is still unclear if Linda knows about the jackpot as Super 6 posted to X explaining how they had failed to contact the winner.

“We're trying to reach Linda... but we can't get through!” read a tweet posted on Sunday.

“Give this a retweet so she finds out she has won the £250,000 #Super6 jackpot.

“We want to change her life!”

Later that evening, the account posted another appeal to contact Linda.

"Linda... we are looking for you!," a tweet read. "Hopefully you finished celebrating your win and can pick up the phone soon.

"We want to have a chat."

Fans in the comments section had their say on the unusual situation.

One fan joked: "Hello guys my wife is Linda, we are so happy, let me just pass her the phone. Guys please send us the money right now."

Another quipped: "My name is not Linda but you can give me the money."

While a third commented: "Never stop looking, never stop looking for Linda."

As a fourth jested: "I'm Linda, now give me the money dude."

If and when Linda finds out about being £250,000 richer, it will certainly brighten up her Monday.
