Punter wins life-changing 'bet of the year' after 92nd-minute goal sees insane four-fold acca land
A punter won the 'bet of the year' as an insane four-fold accumulator landed following a 92nd minute goal.
Nations League fixtures and World Cup qualifiers took centre stage last weekend as Thomas Tuchel kicked off a new era for England with back-to-back victories against Albania and Latvia.
The Three Lions beat Albania 2-0 last Friday before securing a 3-0 win over Latvia on Monday.
Albania rebounded from their defeat at Wembley Stadium by beating Andorra 3-0.

Elsewhere, in Group G, Poland claimed a 2-0 win over Malta, with Karol Swiderski bagging a brace.
And in Group H, Bosnia and Herzegovina edged past Cyprus 2-1 as Haris Hajradinovic scored his team's winner in the 52nd minute.
Why are these results significant? Well, one lucky punter successfully predicted each of the four games and placed a £20 bet, trumping a 674/1 accumulator.
The bettor won a staggering £28,690 after their four-fold accumulator came in following Myrto Uzuni's 92nd minute goal against Andorra in Albania's big win.
On social media, William Hill posted a screenshot of the gambler's four-fold, accompanied with the caption: "A 92nd minute goal from Albania, turning £20 into £28,690!
"Another day, another massive shop winner - this time coming from one our shops in Dagenham."
The punter has Uzuni to thank following his goal against Andorra in injury time.
England's 3-0 victory over Latvia came just days after their 2-0 win over Albania.
Thomas Tuchel said his side 'have to do better' despite winning his first game in charge.
"We can do better, we have to do better," he told ITV after last Friday's victory.
"We started well, we had seven or eight minutes with 100% ball possession with a lot of passes and high energy.
"The opponent is hard to break down as they defend in a deep block. In the Euros [last year] they managed to not concede chances.
"Second half, I felt we were too slow and in general not enough runs off the ball to get behind the line."
England followed up their victory over Albania by beating Latvia 3-0, with Reece James, Harry Kane and Eberechi Eze getting on the score-sheet.
