Arsenal embarrassment, rusty Reds, rare Joelinton goal

Another Arsenal embarrassment, a rare strike for Joelinton, and a rusty restart for Liverpool all feature in the Daily Spread Betting Roundup. But how much could you’ve won?

Seagulls gazump Gunners – Brighton v Arsenal
Tightening the screws on Mikel Arteta, Arsenal lost their 2nd game in a row as Brighton came back from behind to shock their visitors with a 2-1 win.

It took until the 68th minute for the Gunners to get the opener via Nicolas Pepe, only for Lewis Dunk to cancel that out 7 minutes later. The real kicker then came deep into injury time, as Neil Maupay – who had clashed with Bernd Leno in the 1st half, resulting in the goalie being stretchered off – fired home to seal all 3 points, and potential safety, for Brighton.

If you’d backed Maupay at his starting PGM spread of 17-20, you made a tasty 70 times your original wager.

Those 2nd half goals led to a Total Goal Minutes make-up of 233, against a starting price of 126-136. Buy at that price and you were left with 97 times your opening bet.

Meanwhile, those brave souls who waited until the Brighton to win match binary spread fell to 0.2-3.5 made 96.5 times their initial stake after that last-gasp winner.

Joelinton finally scores again – Newcastle v Sheffield United
It’s safe to say Joelinton hasn’t quite justified his £40 million price tag. The Brazilian forward has played in more games in all competitions than any other Newcastle player, yet has only 4 goals to his name – and 2 of those are in the FA Cup.

His 2nd ever Premier League goal came during the Magpies’ 3-0 win over Sheffield United. Anyone backing Joelinton at a PGM spread of 10-14 made 64 times their initial stake from his 78th minute strike.

Selling a Sheffield United/Newcastle (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 0.15-0.35, meanwhile, left you with 3.15 times your opening bet.

Rusty Reds delay coronation – Everton v Liverpool
Though they couldn’t win the league at Goodison Park, a victory would have allowed Liverpool to clinch the title with a win on Wednesday.

Instead they may have to wait a bit longer – dependent on how City get on against Burnley on Monday night – after failing to get more than a point from Sunday’s Merseyside derby.

The goalless draw meant you needed to sell to get anything from the game, including 139 times your initial bet for selling a Total Goal Minutes spread of 139-149.
