Punter Cleans Up After Bet On
Alonso Long Shot
A
Liverpool fan has won 25,000 pounds after betting that
midfielder Xabi Alonso would score from his own half this
season, the media reported on Monday.
Alonso managed the feat
from about 60 metres with Liverpool's fifth goal in a
thrilling 5-3 FA Cup third round win at second division
Luton Town on Saturday after the hosts' keeper had gone up
for a stoppage-time corner.
Fan Adrian Hayward, 42,
had placed his 200 pound bet at 125-1 after noticing the
Spaniard had tried several times last season to score from
the Liverpool half.
"Since placing the bet,
I've always had a vision in my mind that it would come when
the opposing keeper came out for a corner in a cup game,"
Hayward was quoted as telling the Daily Mail. "I couldn't
believe it when Luton got a corner and the keeper started to
run upfield. I thought I was going to pass out. When it went
in, I went crazy."
