Chelsea stoppage-time comeback sets-up £20k win
A William Hill customer is celebrating a huge £20,069.31 payout from the weekend’s football, after Enzo Fernandez’s dramatic 92nd-minute winner against West Ham ensured a mammoth 16-fold accumulator landed – boosted by an additional £10,000 Acca Boost bonus.
The punter placed a £15 stake on a 16-selection coupon spanning leagues across Europe, with the original returns totalling £10,069.31. Thanks to William Hill’s 100% Acca Boost for bets featuring 15 selections or more, a further £10,000 was added, taking the final payout beyond £20k.
The bet rolled over to the Sunday but the standout moment arrived late at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, where Chelsea’s last-gasp comeback win over West Ham landed one of the final legs required to keep the accumulator alive.
Elsewhere, the bet relied heavily on Both Teams To Score markets, with Liverpool vs Newcastle, Strasbourg vs PSG, AZ Alkmaar vs NEC Nijmegen and a clean sweep of William Hill Scottish League Two fixtures all delivering. Big favourites also did the business across Europe, including Napoli, Celtic, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Lyon and Borussia Dortmund, as the coupon edged closer to a remarkable finish.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “A £15 stake returning over £10,000 is impressive enough, but the real headline here is the extra £10k added thanks to our 100% Acca Boost for 15 selections or more. That’s a game-changing bonus, and it turned an already brilliant win into a £20,000 payday.
“This was one of those bets where everything had to fall perfectly into place – and it did, right down to a 92nd-minute Chelsea winner against West Ham after going in at half-time 2-0 down.
“With goals flying in across Europe and late drama at Stamford Bridge, this is exactly the kind of weekend that shows how rewarding our Acca Boosts can be, and it’s richly deserved for this punter after their exceptional bet.”
