Arsenal's Chuba Akpom has been banned from driving for 17 months after crashing his car into a fence in Barnet, north London.

The forward who was on his way back home from a party mounted a grass verge near a petrol garage, before knocking down a large fence.

Akpom admitted to driving while drunk on a concoction of ‘vodka and cranberry juice’.

The former Coventry City and Hull City attacker was also fined by the Willesden Magistrates Court for losing control of his £60,000 Range Rover.

According to the Sun, his lawyer Aki Achillea told the court Akpom’s father feared the worst when he saw the damaged vehicle near the family home.
