Controversial Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole was arrested on Thursday morning after becoming involved in a drunken confrontation with police.

The 28-year-old England international is reported to have repeatedly sworn at police outside the Collection nightclub in South Kensington.

After refusing to tone down his language, Cole was detained and taken to a police station to sober up.

He was then handed an £80 fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly and allowed to go home.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "At about 2.15am today, a man was arrested in Brompton Road, South Kensington, on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and taken to a central London police station where he was later issued with a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly and released at 5.37am."
