Late football drama across Europe saw one William Hill punter land a remarkable 15,665/1 seven-fold accumulator, returning winnings in excess of £39,000 from just a £2.50 stake.

Placed across the Match Result and Both Teams To Score markets, the punt correctly forecast seven victorious teams with both teams to score a goal in the respective fixtures.

The bet unfolded amid significant late drama. Athletic Bilbao delivered one of the standout moments, securing victory with a decisive goal in the 96th minute. Elsewhere, Nice produced a stunning comeback against Montpellier, overturning a 2–0 deficit through goals in the 72nd, 89th and 97th minutes to fulfil another selection.

There was further late excitement in one of two William Hill Premiership fixtures, where Hibernian recovered against Dundee United with an 89th-minute equaliser before claiming victory with a 93rd-minute winner.

Real Sociedad also rallied from behind to defeat Alavés, while Manchester City, Lens and Falkirk all delivered winning performances to round off the 15,665/1 accumulator and see the £2.50 bet return £39,165.28.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Surely there can’t be many more thrilling ways to land a big accumulator win than to do so with two last-gasp goals, and that’s just what one punter achieved on Wednesday night’s football fixtures.

“In a night of high drama, the punter required late goals from Athletic Bilbao and Nice deep into stoppage time, with the selections obliging in the 96th and 97th minutes respectively, to see the remarkable 15,665/1 seven-fold Match Result and Both Teams To Score accumulator come in to secure winnings of over £39,000.

“It’s a truly massive return from just a £2.50 stake and we can only offer our congratulations to this winning punter on their brilliant bet.”
