The bookies have revealed one anonymous customer correctly predicted the outcome of no less than SIXTEEN football matches across Europe on Sunday.

The bettor placed £50 on the 16-fold footy acca at gargantuan odds of 404/1!

It turned out to be an outstanding bet with with 10 of the 16 teams keeping clean sheets in their respective victories, while 10 sides won by two goals or more.

But Sparta Prague, who were backed at odds-on 1/7, weren't playing ball.

The Czech Republic side went down to 10 men after just four minutes when Lukas Sadilek saw red for a last-man foul, before the visitors, Teplice, took the lead through Mohamed Yassser Nour.

However, a late equaliser from Qazim Laci kept the bet alive before Victor Olatunji scrambled in a 90th minute winner for the hosts -- much to the delight of the Ladbrokes punter.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Czech this out… late drama in Prague has left one plucky punter a whopping £20k better off.

"Sparta aside, the majority of this monster acca came in with relative ease, with no less than 10 of our customer's picks winning without conceding and just as many picks winning by two goals or more. Sensational stuff!

"With Christmas around the corner, we can only assume the customer in question will e treating themselves to a Sparta shirt with Victor Olatunji's name on the back!"
