What a result it was for Everton in the Premier League on Sunday as they trounced Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City 4-0. That was an unexpectedly large win for the Toffees and it was the biggest league defeat inflicted on Guardiola during his managerial career. Not only that, the defeat for the Citizens has left their title challenge in disarray as they ended the weekend 10 points behind leaders Chelsea.
So while Everton will have been celebrating a big Sunday for them, one punter at Paddy Power lit up their day even brighter. The customer, from St Helens made a stunning scorecast prediction of Romelu Lukaku to score first and Everton to win 4-0.
The price on that? 800/1 and the punter had played a £2 stake to return £1.6k in order to blow away and January Blues. Lukaku struck the opener in the 34th minute of the game, and although their goal was against the run of play, it played perfectly into Everton’s came plan of absorbing pressure and killing off the Citizens on the break. A 4-0 win for them didn’t look to be anywhere near on the cards at the break as they went in 1-0 up.
But then Kevin Mirallas doubled their just two minutes after the break, before Tom Davies slotted home for Everton’s third in the 79th minute, leaving the punter needing one more. The drama couldn’t have gotten any later as new singing Ademola Lookman netted the final goal of the game in the fifth minute of added time.
