Leicester City long-shot has earned one lucky punter a massive Christmas bonus

1000/1

There’s a fine line between genius and stupidity, and this is right on it.

At the start of the season, Leicester were more likely to finish bottom of the league than to reach the top four, but the magic of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez has them upsetting all the odds.

No one could have seen this coming… well, almost no one. Step forward Twitter user @WillKirwaan_, who will make a cool five grand off the back of his summer punt on the Foxes because, after today’s 3-2 win over Everton, they will be top at Christmas.

The victory over Everton leaves the Foxes five points clear of second-place Arsenal.

If you need a spare fiver for the bus, Will is your man.
