Carabao Cup: How Man City almost dashed a punter’s dream

 

One lucky punter turned £10 into £17,160 with an outlandish five-fold accumulator, but not before Manchester City almost ruined the whole bet in their clash against Wycombe.

The Betfair punter put his money on Man City to win in both halves and to have more corners in both halves.

However, despite winning 6-1, Pep Guardiola’s side went behind when Brandon Hanlan found the net.

Kevin De Bruyne struck back, but City had to wait until the 43rd minute when Riyad Mahrez found the net to put them ahead in the clash.

Phil Foden hit a third before the half-time to put the tie beyond doubt before City hit Wycombe for six.

The punter also had Liverpool to win in both halves and to have more corners in both halves

Jurgen Klopp’s side put three past Crystal Palace, with goals either side of half-time.

He also backed Brentford, who beat Oldham, to win in both halves and to have more corners in both halves.

Like City, Brentford breezed past their opposition, and Thomas Frank’s side hit the North West side for seven.

The unamed punter like his Nigerian counter parts may have shouted ‘Owo-jono'( A yoruba expression that indicates that money has been wasted) before Manchester City did the needful and guaranteeing him £7,160 profit on a £10 investment you may want to say.

Holders Manchester City will next face West Ham in the 4th round October 25.
