The anonymous winner from London struck a £25 wager using the 'bet builder' feature on the BoyleSports app, picking five events to occur during the Premier League clash at Molineux, which the Hammers won 3-2.

They were offered odds of 1200-1 on both teams scoring in the first half, over three goals in the match and the trio of Ruben Neves, Craig Dawson and Tomas Soucek to be yellow carded during the match.

Three of the five predictions had landed by half time, but in a nail-biting finish it took an injury-time booking for West Ham’s Tomas Soucek to get the bet over the line.

With all five predictions coming through, the winner's account was boosted by a cool £30,025 shortly after the final whistle.

Lawrence Lyons, of BoyleSports, said: “Our London customer predicted a feisty affair with goals and bookings and fair play to them for calling it so perfectly; we hope they enjoy every penny of the £30,000 profit.”
