Betfair punters delighted by Pantsil timing

Fulham defender John Pantsil will be feeling every inch as gutted as his former West Ham team-mates this morning after his inexplicable own goal cost the Cottagers dearly at Anfield.

The Ghanaian international's moment to forget in the 52nd minute of Wednesday night's Premier League encounter was a brilliant one for Betfair customers who had put their money on Liverpool being held at half-time before eventually taking all three points.

Anyone who had £20 on that combination on Betfair enjoyed a cool £74.10 profit - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - whereas Victor Chandler, Bet365, Coral, Bwin and SportingBet customers had to settle for just £60.

The 1-0 victory was Kenny Dalglish's first on Merseyside since his return to the club as manager and the Reds' prospects of qualifying for the Europa League suddenly look far healthier. They are only five points behind sixth-placed Sunderland, which is why they are in to [2.2] to finish in the top six.
