Slot machine saw fan hit the jackpot

Liverpool’s demolition of Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday saw one lucky Sky Sports Super 6 player hit the jackpot of £1 million after correctly predicting six correct Premier League scores across last weekend.
The free-to-enter Super 6 competition sees players winning up to £1m for correctly predicting the results of six games.
United have been labelled as ‘lucky’ in the aftermath of the humiliation that Liverpool gave them with many believing it should’ve been a much bigger scoreline, and it probably should have. But Tom Kane from Southampton would’ve been delighted to see Liverpool not net a fourth.

Endo reveals strange request
Wataru Endo has been speaking about an interesting request that Liverpool’s staff have given him recently.

In the meantime, Endo has returned to Japan for international duty and will be looking to get himself into match sharpness before he comes back to Merseyside.
Being the captain of the Japanese national team, Endo was on media duties prior to Japan’s game against China tomorrow. Endo spoke to the Japanese media in a press conference where he revealed an interesting request that Liverpool staff have made to him.

Pundit blames referee for Casemiro blunders
The ongoing dissection of Liverpool’s ruthless masterclass at Old Trafford on Sunday has taken a new twist, after one US-based pundit pointed the finger at FIFA referee Anthony Taylor for the Luiz Diaz double conceded by Manchester United in the first half.
In what was seemingly another attempt to take some of the blame away from United’s hapless Brazilian midfielder Casemiro, Golazo Network analyst Ian Paul Joy claimed Taylor was at fault for two fatal turnovers of possession, by standing in the wrong position in the build-up to both goals.
Joy used video footage to show the man in black blocking Bruno Fernandes‘s futile attempts to launch two attacks with his trademark forward passes to the flanks.
