FA to Launch Probe After England Players Partied Until 4am Following 3-0 Win Over Scotland

Published on: 17 November 2016

"?As if we have barely had time to take stock of Wayne Rooney's not-so-shocking drunken behaviour, the "?Sun are now reporting that the England team are under investigation after celebrating their victory over Scotland last week by partying until 4am the following Sunday.


Goals from Daniel Sturridge, Adam Lallana and Gary Cahill helped the Three Lions to an important win in their World Cup Qualifier which means they now lead their group, ahead of Slovenia.

Naturally a win over the 'Old Enemy' lead to celebrations from the England team, with 10 players heading for a night out the day after the victory. It is currently unclear whether the players were given permission to do so but the FA have now launched an investigation into the matter.


The news comes just days after Wayne Rooney made headlines for gatecrashing a wedding whilst being heavily under the influence. The England captain has since apologised for his behaviour but attention has now turned to several of his teammates after they too were seen out late at night.

With a match against Spain looming just two days after the night out, questions have been asked of the player's integrity and the leadership credentials of interim-manager, Gareth Southgate.


Despite an impressive performance in last Tuesday's friendly, England blew a two goal lead and were pegged back by two late strikes from Iago Aspas and Isco. 

Inevitably the finger of blame will now be pointed at the player's conduct off the pitch following the disappointing draw with Spain but in truth, very few football fans will care about any of this nonsense.


With Premier League football just two days away, we will soon be spared these boring stories about England players doing what every other human being does - going out and getting drunk.


Roll on Saturday, it can't come soon enough.
