An 89th-minute Aston Villa goal that put Newcastle United top of the Championship has won a football fan £60,000.
In a £10 bet the man, from the Scottish Borders, chose seven league winners.
Jessica Bridge from bookmakers Ladbrokes said accumulator bets "normally come agonisingly close but hit the crossbar in extra time".
"Our customer now has 60,000 reasons to thank Jack Grealish for his vital goal last weekend," she said.
The man, who is in his 50s but did not want to be named, placed the bet before the start of the season.

Quite right. Meadowbank Thistle, if you don't mind.

Ferranti Thistle if we really want to get nostalgic about it.
