Late Owen winner costs bookies £1m

Monday, September 21, 2009

Michael Owen's winning goal late in injury time of the derby between Manchester United and Manchester City on Sunday cost bookmakers William Hill over £1 million.

Owen struck the winner in the sixth minute of stoppage time to seal a 4-3 victory at Old Trafford.

William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe said in Reuters: "Had the referee blown 30 seconds or so earlier, at which point everyone other than United fans were convinced the game was over, we'd have been a substantial seven figure sum better off.

"We can only suppose that time passes more slowly at Old Trafford than anywhere else in the universe."
