Alonso's 60-yard super strike, which sealed an unforgettable 5-3 triumph over the Hatters, sent Liverpudlians everywhere into raptures but none more so than 42-year old Adrian Hayward.
Having notices that Alonso had tried a similar feat several times last season, Adrian had placed a £200 bet at odds of 125-1, with Liverpoolfc.tv official betting partner Paddy Power, that the Reds Spanish midfielder would score a goal from his own half this season.
"I've been a Liverpool supporter for 26 years and I noticed last season that Alonso attempted shooting from his own half quite a few times. I couldn't get it out of my head that he would eventually score like it," says a delighted Adrian.
"Since placing the bet, I've always had a vision in my mind that it would come when the opposing keeper came out for a corner in a cup game.
"I couldn't believe it when Luton got a corner and the keeper started to run upfield....I thought I was going to pass out. When it went in, I went crazy."

Seems like alonso can win money for people aswell. The guy was just interviewed on sky sports before, sounded well happy (i gues you would be if you won 25,000 quid).
