Sunderland (3/1) boss Michael Beale is said to have been desperate for a positive result at home to Stoke.
The Black Cats had less possession and fewer goal attempts throughout the 90 minutes, but somehow held a 3-0 lead into the 70 minutes, only to be denied by Jenson Seelt OG.
They managed to hold on for the crucial three points in what was the perfect scenario for this punter.
Bristol Rovers (11/4) led 2-0 and drove at half-time before the deficit was halved by Oxford United after 58 minutes.
The points were secured with a third goal in the 77th minute, in what would be an excellent few minutes for our punter.
Sheffield United and Brighton (11/5) met in the FA Cup and stormed the first half as the home side fought back from 2-0 down to move in at 2-2.
But three second-half goals for the Seagulls secured an emphatic win, sending them into Round 5.
“Not very dramatic,” I hear you say. You're right. But it's on edge now.
That's because MK Dons and Gillingham were tied at 0-0 when the clock struck 78 minutes.
MK Dons (10/3) took the lead after 79 minutes and seemed to be assured of the points after 88 minutes by adding a second.
But Gills got one back on 90 minutes through Josh Walker, making for a nerve-wracking end to the match, but ultimately they fell short. Three goals in the last twelve minutes to save the bet.
That left the door open Wimbledon (4/1) to be the heroes of the best – and also with the greatest odds.
An early red card from Mansfield meant the bet was in jeopardy before Wimbledon took the lead in first-half stoppage time.
A Will Swan equalizer on 62 minutes was the perfect start to the second half for the punter who now needed a home goal for a team at 11v10.
They had to sweat for a while when Ronan Curtis' winner got into the final 97th minute to spark wild scenes in the gambler's home section and living room.
