Aston Villa star Kortney Hause lifts the lid on terrifying 2018 Boxing Day ordeal in which five thugs attempted to rob and KIDNAP him after following him home from a trip to London

Aston Villa defender Kortney Hause has detailed his terrifying ordeal in which a group of thugs attempted to rob and kidnap him after a day out shopping in London.

Hause, 26, opened up on the harrowing 2018 incident in the second part of a documentary titled PowerHause Journey ft. Kortney, revealing for the first time that one of the group smashed a glass bottle over his head during the episode.

The former England U21 international was playing for Wolves at the time, but having not been included in Nuno Espirito Santo's squad for their Boxing Day clash at Fulham, decided to travel to Essex to spend Christmas with his family.
