Gabby Agbonlahor suspended for partying after Aston Villa were relegated

Aston Villa have suspended Gabby Agbonlahor following his laughing gas and booze binge.

The Sun exclusively revealed today that the striker was pictured partying in a hotel room with pals — on the same day Villa were relegated from the Premier League.

The carpet was littered with cans of legal high nitrous oxide.

Later the £60,000-a-week striker was seen downing shots and horsing around with hangers-on at London’s Mayfair Hotel.

And Villa have acted quickly to discipline their captain pending a club investigation.

An official statement read: "Aston Villa Football Club has today suspended Gabby Agbonlahor pending an internal investigation.

"This is following allegations concerning his conduct at the weekend.

"There will be no further comment from the Club in relation to this matter until the investigation has been completed."

Agbonlahor, 29, was left out of the Villa side who were relegated hours earlier by a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, because he is overweight and unfit.

The star, dubbed Flabby Gabby, is supposed to be on a personal fitness regime. His antics on Saturday night infuriated the club’s supporters who saw them on social media.

One said: “Just looking at it turns my stomach. It’s a real slap in the face for Villa fans.

“If I was captain of a team that has just been relegated I’d be hiding myself away in shame.”
