A football fan says he is 'kicking himself' after he missed out on the chance to win over £1,000 from just a fiver when he 'cashed out' early on a bet during the big Manchester City v Liverpool game.
Tom Haden placed an accumulator bet with Bet365 ahead of the clash between the two title rivals at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon which had five elements.
He needed the Blues' Belgian star Kevin de Bruyne to score, which happened in the sixth minute, Liverpool striker Diogo Jota to score, who then equalised in the 13th minute, Reds' left-back, Andrew Robertson to get booked, which he did on 28 minutes, and City midfielder, Bernardo Silva, to also receive a yellow card, which happened in the 40th minute.
