Spurs goalscorer Son Heung-min costs unlucky punter €46,000 bet

One punter lost a bet worth a staggering €46,000 after Son Heung-min struck Spurs' fourth goal against Watford on Saturday.

Ross Maguire, who bet a measly €1.10 on a tasty looking accumulator of correct score predictions, was set to receive a huge profit from the days' Premier League results, but was ultimately left short.

And it's all thanks to Spurs' man of the moment:

The punter had correctly backed Manchester City to beat Hull 3-1, Liverpool to beat Stoke 2-1, Chelsea to beat Bournemouth 3-1, and inevitably, Middlesbrough and Burnley to see out a 0-0 draw.

And he came so close with Spurs leading 3-0 against Watford, before Son sealed the victory with a fourth.

Poor ol' Ross couldn't even cash out, with Spurs' game being the early kick-off.

So the poor lad had to sit there and endure the agony of watching all of the other results come in throughout the course of the afternoon.

That's just painful.

Meanwhile, Son has been Spurs' go-to man in times of need this season, with the 24-year-old filling in for Mauricio Pochettino's side when regular forward Harry Kane has been out through injury.

He's notched seven goals in his last five appearances for the North London side, including a hat-trick against Millwall in the FA Cup last month.
