An Arsenal fan has won an incredible amount of money from one three-leg bet builder as a result of his side’s 1-0 win over Tottenham on Sunday.
Gabriel Magalhães scored the only goal of the match in the 68th minute with a header from a Bukayo Saka corner, leading Arsenal to a 1-0 victory. This win marks Arsenal’s third in four Premier League matches this season, moving them up to second place in the standings.
While the result delighted Arsenal fans and Mikel Arteta’s team, it was especially thrilling for one supporter. Twitter user @OzBlock108 placed a three-leg bet that Arsenal would win 1-0, Gabriel would score at any time, and the score would be level at half-time. With a £40 stake, this fan won an impressive £6,031.89, having correctly predicted the outcome and the set-piece scenario.
The win comes just a week after another bettor won nearly £2,000 from a £15 wager during the international break. This bet involved Scott McTominay scoring a header and Bruno Fernandes netting from outside the box in the Scotland vs Portugal match.
Following Arsenal’s victory over Spurs, manager Mikel Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance in the north London derby. Speaking to the club’s official website, he said, “We have the power to make many people happy and proud. We certainly did that today, with the manner of our win and the circumstances leading up to this match, including our third consecutive away win at Tottenham.”
Arteta acknowledged that there were areas for improvement, particularly with simple ball handling, but praised the team’s defensive efforts and their ability to exploit spaces. “The way we competed, defended, and constantly ran into the spaces they provided was unbelievable,” he added.
