Premier League footballer Jean-Philippe Gbamin has been fined £25,000 and banned from the roads after causing a 5am drink-driving smash in his supercar.

The Everton midfielder, 26, failed a breath test after his Audi RS Q8 collided with a Jaguar while he was exiting the M56 near his home in Hale Barns, Cheshire.

Tests revealed the father-of-one had 52 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35mg.

The incident occurred on August 8 and it is believed Gbmain had just given a friend a lift home following a night out.
