To be precise, it was a both teams to score acca in which they selected 12 fixtures for that to unfold.
With only two Premier League games kicking off at 3pm, they did well to avoid the 6-0 win for Brighton, instead plumping for Brentford vs Nottingham Forest.
The Bees recovering from a goal down to eventually turn the game around to secure a 2-1 win.
There were three games from the Championship, including the relegation showdown between Reading and Wigan.
Both teams to score was offered at 17/20, with a 0-0 score line until the 81st minute when the visitors took the lead. A 93rd minute equaliser would then officially relegate the Latics — though it was good for the punter.
