A Raheem Sterling strike in the 63rd was ruled out for offside by VAR and there were no further goals meaning match ended in a 2-2 draw just as Tom's bet had predicted.
Tom had Tweeted his decision on the stroke of half-time and said: “I’ve taken the £193… come on City” with the crying with laughter face. But an hour later the 25-year-old, who
