LIVERPOOL FC: REDS FAN SCOOPS A FORTUNE THANKS TO XABI

A Liverpool fan is today £25,000 richer thanks to the incredible last-gasp goal scored by Xabi Alonso against Luton at Kenilworth Road on Saturday.

/noticias.info/ Alonso's 60-yard super strike, which sealed an unforgettable 5-3 triumph over the Hatters, sent Liverpudlians everywhere into raptures but none more so than 42-year old Adrian Hayward.

Having notices that Alonso had tried a similar feat several times last season, Adrian had placed a £200 bet at odds of 125-1, with Liverpoolfc.tv official betting partner Paddy Power, that the Reds Spanish midfielder would score a goal from his own half this season.

"I've been a Liverpool supporter for 26 years and I noticed last season that Alonso attempted shooting from his own half quite a few times. I couldn't get it out of my head that he would eventually score like it," says a delighted Adrian.

"Since placing the bet, I've always had a vision in my mind that it would come when the opposing keeper came out for a corner in a cup game.

"I couldn't believe it when Luton got a corner and the keeper started to run upfield....I thought I was going to pass out. When it went in, I went crazy." notas_de_prensa_archivo
