When Craig Dawson's header hit the back of the net after 54 minutes at the Hawthorns, one Lancashire bettor must have been despairing.
The 30-year-old had five legs up on his six-leg accumulator, requiring an Everton victory over West Brom - along with both teams to score - for a near £46,000 payout.
Remarkably, Everton came from 2-0 down to win the game 3-2. Goals coming thanks to Arouna Kone and Romelu Lukaku.
William Hill confirmed the win on Twitter.
