Andros Townsend received six points on his diving licence and a £750 fine after his Land Rover crashed into a parked car.

Townsend also failed to give the name of who was driving the car when the incident took place in August last year.

The 24-year-old's car initially belonged to England teammate Adam Lallana and, in a bizarre twist of events, Lallana was hit with a court summons following the incident.

Townsend, who didn't attend the court hearing at Stratford magistrates, must also pay £160 costs.

Police wrote to the Tottenham winger to ask who was driving the car at the time of the accident but he failed to respond.

Philip Worrall, who was defending Townsend, said: "For some reason, he or or somebody else did not send the letter with the required notice."

Townsend is yet to score for Tottenham in three appearances this season.

The England winger has nine international caps to his name, the latest of which coming in the Three Lions' 3-2 win over Slovenia in June.
