The most remarkable of games were played out on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League when Swansea landed a 5-4 win over Crystal Palace. It is one of those games which should just never happen as Palace were leading 4-3 just before the 90 minute mark. It was a dramatic rollercoaster of a game which was sitting level at 1-1 at half time. There was really no sign, no indication of what was to come at all.
With 25 minutes left on the clock though, Leroy Fer netted a brace in two minutes to put the home side 3-1 up and it should have been plain sailing from there on for them. What that almost meant as well, is that any punters who had backed a Swansea win at Paddy Power were immediately paid out because of their new 2 Up You Win promotion, which pays out on a selection if they go two goals up at any point in the game. But the drama was a long way from being done as Palace pulled things back to 3-3 with 8 minutes left on the clock.
Christian Benteke popped up two minutes later with a goal to put the visitors ahead through their stunning comeback but then it all fell apart from the as they totally switched off at the end. Swansea substitute Fernando Llorente equalised as the clock ticked to 90 minutes and then two minutes later netted the winner in the 93rd minute. It was a remarkable second half and Paddy Power decided to reward some of their optimistic punters on the game.
Five punters had placed a bold 4-4 correct score draw on the game and the bookmaker decided that they couldn’t see such optimism go unrewarded and they went ahead and paid them out anyway on their 275/1 punts.
