The game, which required punters to predict how the Premier League table would look at the end of the season, attracted over 270,000 entries and with half of the season to go, has two leaders.

The other winner, an Ipswich fan relocated to South London, said: “I was toying with whether to put Spurs or United third and regretted doing Spurs at the start of the season, but if it now means I have won £50,000 instead of nothing, I’m not complaining.”
