Punter wins £16k off just a tenner with one of the bets of the season thanks to Man Utd's defeat to Tottenham

One lucky Paddy Power punter earned himself a sweet prize of over £16,000 from just a tenner this weekend.

Tottenham’s 3-0 win at Manchester United brought joy for the customer via a six-leg Multi-Match Bet Builder.

The selection, which also included legs from Aston Villa’s 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town, has been shared online.

Morgan Rogers was firstly backed to either score or assist, doing so by finding the net at Portman Road.

The bet also needed two specific players to be cautioned in the encounter, with Lucas Digne and Jacob Greaves obliging.

Next, attention turned to Old Trafford, with the punter requiring Diogo Dalot to be cautioned, and he did so in the first half.

Much like Rogers, Dominic Solanke was backed to score or assist and he completed the scoring to earn another tick.

Djed Spence’s 54th minute yellow card was the key bit of the jigsaw, after he replaced Destiny Udogie at half time.

But with Paddy Power offering a Super Sub stipulation, meaning to save the bet, it was Spence who then needed to be cautioned.

Spence was booked just nine minutes later, earning the better a hefty profit of £16,400 in total.

It wasn’t just the above punter who was cheering on Super Sub Spence, with more than 9.5k other bets getting over the line too.

In total the subs during Spurs and Manchester United's encounter bruised Paddy Power's traders to the tune of £1.6m.

It's nice to see the bookies often made to look silly but the Dublin-based firm took their loss with some decorum to say the least.

A spokesperson for Paddy Power said: "Yesterday was a red letter day for Paddy's punters. Not only did this plucky punter net £16.4k off the back of a tenner, but theirs was just one of a staggering 16k Super Sub bets that clicked yesterday. "Destiny Udogie To Get Carded and to be the Player to Commit 1 or More Fouls respectively accounted for over 9,700 of the winning selections.

"Erik ten Hag isn't the only one licking his wounds today! The results were almost as diabolical for us as they were for Man United...almost."
