Margate flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Hayes & Yeading United 1-3 Margate. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Hayes & Yeading United the favourite at 54.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
