Manchester City traveled to Bournemouth in the opening fixture. The late drama at the Vitality Stadium kept the ticket alive before it had even started.<\/p>\n<h2>Super Sterling to the rescue<\/h2>\n<p>As the clock ticked into the 95th minute anyone would have been forgiven for giving up hope. With the score at 1-1 and AOA out of the question only a Man City goal would have advanced the ticket to leg 2. Step up Raheem Sterling in the 97th minute to spark jubilant scenes (and a red card for the Englishman).<\/p>\n<h2>Watford\u2019s resilience pays off<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Spen-30k-pick-4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15218\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Spen-30k-pick-4-1024x379.png\" alt=\"Winning ticket\" width=\"1000\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Spen-30k-pick-4-1024x379.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Spen-30k-pick-4-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Spen-30k-pick-4-768x284.png 768w, https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Spen-30k-pick-4.png 1026w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nEntering the 3 o\u2019clock kick offs, the lucky winner needed Newcastle to beat West Ham 3-0 or 3-1 and Watford and Brighton to draw 0-0. Mitrovic scored from the bench in the 86th Minute to secure the 3-0 result. Britos\u2019 reckless challenge in the 24th minute resulted in an early bath for the Uruguayan and put the ticket in serious doubt as a single goal from either team would have eliminated the jackpot. Brighton hit the post twice but Watford&#8217;s 10 men held firm to claim a battling point and send the ticket into the last leg.<\/p>\n<h2>Super subs bring home the jackpot<\/h2>\n<p>Going into the final game between Manchester United and Leicester this brave Colossal let 100% of their ticket run, turning down a substantial cash out offer. With 67 minutes on the clock and the game poised nicely, Marcus Rashford entered the field. It took him just 3 minutes to send the Red Devils 1-0 up and set up a nervy last 20 minutes. It was another substitute that secured the jackpot as Fellaini stuck out his knee to divert fellow substitute Jesse Lingard&#8217;s drive past Kasper Schmeichel. Squeaky bum time ensued after as United looked to see out the game. A late miss from Lukaku and Fantastic save from De Gea kept the score at 2-0 and provided a remarkable win for this punter.<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League might be on a break but our pools aren&#8217;t going anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Fancy your chances at predicting this weeks International results ?
