Paddy Power, known for their unique and sometimes controversial marketing campaigns, made the generous offer coniciding with a depiction of Russian President Vladimir Putin donned in lipstick.

The Paddy Power statement read: “Thanks to that goal we’ve paid £10,000 to help tackle homophobia in football.”

The offer is extended throughout the tournament but will exclude penalty shootouts. Own goals also will be rewarded.

The payout is being done in conjunction with Attitude magazine’s Foundation.
