Burnley striker Ashley Barnes 'arrested for drink-driving after four-hour boozing session to celebrate the club's Premier League survival', with manager Sean Dyche 'furious' over the incident

Premier League star Ashley Barnes was reportedly arrested for drink-driving after his Burnley side secured their Premier League status last week.

Barnes, 31, is said to have had a four-hour drinking session with his Burnley team-mates on the coach journey back following their victory over Fulham last Monday.

The Sun claim Barnes was later pulled over by police after getting behind the wheel of his £55,000 Mercedes V-Class people carrier near his home and was arrested after failing a breathalyzer test.
