Glenn Murray's last-gasp penalty for Brighton at Southampton cost a Kent punter £89,000.
The Betfred customer needed Southampton to win to complete a ten-fold football accumulator.
He had correctly predicted wins for many sides, from Liverpool to Lincoln, over the weekend as well as a draw between St Johnstone and Aberdeen. This meant he needed just Southampton to win to claim the £89,000.
Brighton went 1-0 down in this game with midfielder Pierre Emile Højbjerg opening the scoring for Southampton in the 35th minute. Danny Ings then doubled the lead for The Saints.
But goals from Duffy and Murray completed a brilliant comeback from The Seagulls to steal a valuable point at St Mary's, which could have great significance at the end of the season.
Murray's goal also maintained an extraordinary record in matches between the teams in the South Coast derby. Albion have now been involved in six penalties on their last four visits, three for and three against.
