Who made the betting headlines in this weekend's footy.

Arsenal's second-half comeback on Saturday will have upset those who backed Tottenham at 1.5 when Spurs were 1-0 up - and those who got on the draw at 1.6 with 10 minutes to go of normal time. The Gunners drifted out to 13 in the match odds but Cesc fabregas's strike sandwiched between two goals from Emanuel Adebayor saw them to a 3-1 victory.

Elsewhere Wigan's 80th minute equaliser against Fulham was great news for them and those punters who jumped on the draw at high of 5.0.

Meanwhile a thumping 3-nil win for West Ham over Middlesbrough at Upton Park was their second victory on the trot by that margin - but some punters were clearly never in doubt that the Hammers would do it again when they backed the correct score at 55.

Best of all though, for those prepared to keep the faith, was Watford's late, late show in the Championship against Southampton at Vicarage Road on Sunday. They'd drifted out to 40 to win the match when 2-1 down but enter substitute Darius Henderson with two goals in the last 9 minutes to snatch an unlikely victory.
