Everton star Oumar Niasse’s Bournemouth double earns lucky punter £12,000 of a £5 accumulator
Toffees were the only side on 11 selections not coming through comfortably with 13 minutes to go
OUMAR NIASSE’S double at the weekend ensured a lucky punter turned a £5 accumulator into a cool £12,000 payday.
The Ladbrokes customer guessed the results of 10 football matches and a game of rugby.
All of his selections came through comfortably except Everton, who were down 1-0 with 13 minutes to go against Bournemouth.
But boss Ronald Koeman threw on Niasse, 27, and the super sub’s double came to the rescue of the Toffees.
The Blues were 14-1 shots to pick up all three points before the Senegalese international snatched an equaliser in the 77th minute.
His second came five minutes later and ensured the customer’s bet came in – to the sound of a cool £12,437.28.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Plenty of eyebrows were raised when Koeman turned to Niasse at the weekend – and our lucky punter must’ve thought he was going to miss out on a huge win.
“But the Senegalese striker is the main reason Everton fans are celebrating and our customer is £12k better off!”
Joshua King’s fantastic 48th-minute goal stunned Goodison Park as Koeman’s expensive squad looked set for another flop.
But, Niasse, who came on as a 55th minute substitution for Wayne Rooney, fired in his first after latching onto a pass from Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
He doubled his tally five minutes later when he reacted first after Tom Davies’s effort looped off Steve Cook and he bundled home at the far post.
