In a huge weekend of international football, what were the big winning plays and how much money did punters win?

Belarus 2-3 Wales

Gareth Bale was back to his best with a hattrick for Wales to carry them to victory in Russia, and buyers of the Divine Topknot’s performance markets were laughing all the way to the bank.  Buyers of Bale’s Player Goal Minutes (PGM) at the opening spread of 27-30 won 134 times their wager, the Madrid man’s injury time winner settling the market at 164, while buyers of the Super Mega Minutes (SMM) market, which opened at 43-50, loved that late winner all the more, sealing a 363-point profit! Fixed odds backers enjoyed the 25/1 for a Bale hat-trick.

Who is Wales' record scorer? Gareth Bale is the leading scorer of all-time for Wales. Bale’s second hattrick for his country means he has now scored 36 goals in 98 games, 8 clear of Ian Rush

England 4-0 Andorra

Jesse Lingard was the star of the show as a much-changed England eventually broke down a well drilled Andorra side. He may not be good enough for Man United, but he was more than good enough to punish the first visitors to Wembley since the Euros, rewarding his PGM buyers at 33 with a 63-point profit, while those going over the SMM spread of 47-55 banked 119 times their bet. The Andorrans were determined to leave their mark on Gareth Southgate’s men, accounting for 6 of the 7 match yellow cards, music to the ears of those buying bookings markets. With 2 yellows shown in the 1^st half and another 5 in the second, Multi-Bookings settled at 1000 (20x50), a massive 795-point profit for buyers at the initial 145-205. Despite England’s 4-0 win, it was sellers of goals who profited, with 4.80-5.10 expected to be scored prematch.

How many goals has Jesse Lingard scored for England? Manchester United midfielder Lingard hadn’t scored for England in almost three years before his 18^th minute opener. He only had to wait 60 minutes for his next Three Lions goal, his 6th in all

San Marino 1-7 Poland

England’s next opponents, Poland, put 7 past San Marino, with Adam Buksa grabbing a late hat-trick that ensured buyers of Goal Minutes profited nicely. The market stood at 227-242 as the game kicked off and hovered around there throughout the game until substitute Buksa’s late fireworks; 2 injury time goals seeing buyers at 242 make 139 times their stake as the market settled at 381. San Marino played their part in a big night for buyers of Multi Corners, which multiplies 1^st half and 2^nd half corner kicks. With 7 in the opening 45 minutes and 9 in the 2^nd – including 3 for San Marino – the result of 63 meant a tasty 31-point profit for buyers at the prematch 29-32.

Who is Adam Buksa? Buksa has now scored four goals in his two Poland appearances and the striker, who plays for New England Revolution in the MLS, will be hoping to partner Robert Lewandowski against England on Wednesday

Germany 6-0 Armenia

Germany were back on form, hitting Armenia for 6, thought not all the overs markets landed despite the goal-fest. Sellers of Multi-Corners (25-28) won 17 times their stake, with only 2 corners in the 1^st half and 4 in the 2^nd, while a 245-point profit was banked after 45 minutes by sellers of Multi-Bookings (245-315), with no card in the first half. Shirt numbers did hit the overs, the total of 76 beating the 47-51 line, though perhaps in a 6-0 thrashing buyers would have expected more than their 25-point profit.

Will Armenia qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar? Armenia went into this game unbeaten in their World Cup qualifying campaign after four games, and still stand second in Group I despite this thrashing
