Chelsea were made to work hard for their 3-2 victory over Leeds United in the FA Cup on Wednesday night but super sub Conor Gallagher made the difference for them – and some plucky Paddy Power punters who benefited from our latest offer!
It all started terribly for the Blues as Leeds were gifted the opening goal thanks to a howler of a pass from Axel Disasi which allowed Jaidon Anthony to slot an assist into Mateo Joseph but Chelsea fired back with two goals before halftime from Nicolas Jackson and Mykhailo Mudryk to relieve some of the pressure on under-fire Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino.
However, Leeds’ Anthony was again the provider for Joseph on 59 minutes with a pinpoint pass for a beautifully cushioned header to draw level at 2-2.
That meant Poch’s hand was forced and two minutes later he brought on experienced heads in Ben Chilwell and Conor Gallagher in place of Malo Gusto and Noni Madueke respectively and one of those changes would prove crucial and fire the Blues into the quarter final – as well as triggering a Super Sub winner too!
But hold the phone, – what’s Super Sub, you ask? It’s just the latest, greatest thing since sliced bread the canny coders in the basement of Power Tower dreamt up to keep your bet going even if a player selection gets taken off early.
So when Enzo Fernandez threaded a pass through to Gallagher on the edge of the box and he rifled it home as ex to see Chelsea through to a quarterfinal showdown with Championship leaders Leicester on March 16th at Stamford Bridge.
If you’d backed Noni Madueke in the Anytime Goalscorer, Shot on Target, Score or Assist, or to Commit a Foul markets (either pre-match or in-play), normally, your bet would have lost once he was hooked off by Poch.
But thanks to the Paddy Power Super Sub offer, the pick rolled on to his replacement, Conor Gallagher, instead. Meaning, if you’d backed Madueke on Wednesday night in any of the four above markets, Paddy Power would have paid out after Gallagher’s winning strike.
What a game changer!
