A lucky punter has won one of the bets of the season by turning £10 into £82,000.

The Betfair customer placed a bet on eventualities in the Aston Villa vs Manchester City match which were priced at 200/1 and coupled it with a similar effort during the Manchester United vs Chelsea clash.

The punter backed Aston Villa to win, get the most corners in each half and have the most shots on target across the game, which came in after a stunning performance from the Birmingham-based side.

At Old Trafford, they backed the same eventualities but with United as the winning side.

It meant that the £10 stake returned a whopping £82,410 to win one of the most spectacular bets of the football season so far.

It wasn't the only big winner from Betfair during Wednesday night's action. Another customer turned £2.50 into over £20,000 with the exact same bet.

Villa's win over City turned heads on Wednesday night, not least because the defending champions did not have a single shot after the 11th minute of the match.

Leon Bailey's goal in the second half ensured City lost their first Premier League game in two months – and dropped them down to fourth in the table.

Villa's great run continued, which also includes 14 home wins in a row, and lifts them up to third and improbably into Premier League title contention.

"Aston Villa were better," City boss Pep Guardiola told Amazon Prime. "They played a fantastic game. We struggled to make our passes and be aggressive in some moments in behind. The better team won.

"We struggled, especially in the first half. The second half was completely different. We adjusted something, but in the final third, the quality of the pass or the movement, we didn't find it all game.

"The first 15 or 20 minutes were best, but after that they had the momentum.

"They are a physical team. They made a good pressing. They are incredibly organised so it's difficult to find the pockets and with the moments in behind, we struggled a little bit."
