Bruno Guimaraes last minute goal for Newcastle United nets Scottish football fan £1 million
A Scottish football fan is celebrating this morning after a last-minute Newcastle United winner helped him scoop £1 million.
Thousands of Newcastle United fans were celebrating across the world over the weekend when Bruno Guimaraes scored the winning goal against Fulham on Saturday.
The group included a Scottish football fan who was just about to win one million pounds.
Under Sky Bet’s Super 6’s £1M 'til it’s won promotion, if no one landed the £1 million jackpot by predicting six correct scores in any of rounds one to 9nine, the player at the top of the season leaderboard would claim the prize instead.
More than 10,000 contenders were still in with a chance heading into Round nine’s fixtures, with 76 players separated by just 10 points.
Step forward Martin from Falkirk, whose nine points were enough to leapfrog him from third into top spot.
Bruno Guimarães scored the crucial goal of the weekend — the second in Newcastle’s 2-1 win over Fulham — which proved to be Martin’s only correct score in the round.
He also correctly predicted Arsenal would extend their winning run against Palace and Spurs’ win at Everton.
