      by

      Almiron did not respond and has now been banned from driving for six months after magistrates said they were “satisfied beyond reasonable doubt” that he was the driver.
      The Paraguayan, 29, was given the punishment under the totting up process after he failed to also provide driver details on an earlier occasion.
      He was seen allegedly using his mobile while driving near Newcastle’s training camp in December last year by a member of the public who tipped off police.
      Their inquiries led them to car company Lex Auto Leases, which confirmed Almiron was the registered driver — but correspondence to the star’s address was ignored.

      Almiron, who was in Paraguay on Tuesday to play in their 1-0 victory over Bolivia in a World Cup qualifier, did not attend Gateshead magistrates’ court for Thursday’s hearing.
      The Toon fans’ favourite was fined £660 and ordered to pay court costs.
      The mobile phone use allegation was thrown out.
      The court case caps a tough week for Newcastle with Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali, 23, facing a lengthy ban for alleged betting offences.

      The £55million summer buy from AC Milan missed Italy’s Euro 2024 qualifier with England at Wembley on Tuesday after he was sent home from the squad having been quizzed by cops.
      Tonali, said by his agent to be a gambling addict, faces a ban of up to five years after confessing to betting on Milan while at the club.
      Newcastle, who host Crystal Palace today, said: “Sandro will continue to co-operate with all relevant authorities. He and his family will continue to receive the club’s full support.”
      The club declined to comment on Almiron’s ban. More

      Alexander-Arnold, 25, slammed on the brakes and swerved before hitting the BMW X5.
      The shaken Liverpool star was then seen getting out and speaking to the other driver.
      Both miraculously escaped unharmed in the crash on a wet country lane near Knutsford, Cheshire.
      It came as Storm Babet caused chaos around the country, leaving three people dead.

      A source said: “The wind was so powerful it suddenly ripped up the pylon. It was really terrifying. It’s a miracle nobody was hurt. Someone could have easily been killed.
      “What are the chances of that happening? Alexander-Arnold must feel like he’s cheated death.
      “A few seconds later and it could have gone through his windscreen. It’s absolutely treacherous out there.”
      Police were called to the crash scene yesterday morning and the electricity was turned off.

      Photos show Alexander-Arnold standing by his car close to the pylon which is splayed across the road with its wires hanging out.
      The front of his black Range Rover was damaged while the white BMW had veered into a hedge and lost a headlight.
      It is believed Alexander-Arnold, who lives nearby, later attended training ahead of today’s lunchtime clash against Everton at Anfield.
      The accident came days after he partied at a London nightclub with England teammates including Jude Bellingham and Jack Grealish, following the Three Lions’ qualification for next summer’s Euros.
      Cheshire Police said yesterday: “At 10.34am this morning we were called to reports of a road traffic collision involving a black Range Rover and a BMW.
      “An electricity pole had fallen into the road, causing the accident.
      “Nobody was injured and everything was cleared by 1.05pm.
      “We called the energy company and had the electricity turned off.”
      Alexander-Arnold’s agent has been contacted for comment.

      A leaked video shows the entrance to the ace’s sex party
      Footage leaked to The Sun on Sunday shows a fixer telling guests where to meet and how to deal with security.
      The organiser talks over video at the hotel, saying: “So guys, really easy. This is the back.
      “Here we can arrive and park and the driver can drop us off. Over here, there will be security.
      “This is the entrance for the girls and everyone.
      Read More on Football
      “The security will accept and here, inside, we will do NDA (non-disclosure agreements) and phones . . . and here we’re going to go to the party and the rooms.”
      In the video — sent on the day of the bash — girls were told to report at a car garage at the rear of the London hotel.
      After walking past bottles of drink stacked up in the ground-floor kitchen area, they were taken by lifts to suites costing several thousand pounds a night.
      The guests, including models, had been urged to attend if they were “up for a wild party”.
      Most read in Football
      In return they got chauffeur-driven cars, free food, booze and beds for the night.
      One girl at the party said: “It got so busy with girls coming and going that we had to wait in the garage area until others had left the rooms. It was wild.
      “They had booked several big rooms. Organisers were taking girls up in the lifts, one after another.
      “There were several Premier League football players in the rooms with the girls, and some were in bed together.
      “It was a free bar obviously and everyone was getting stuck into the booze.
      “I heard a young woman working in the hotel was caught in a passionate clinch with a player and got into trouble with her bosses.
      “We had to sign NDAs on arrival and hand in our phones.
      “We were told they didn’t want us filming anything and posting it on social media.
      “Only the players were allowed to keep their phones. Minders were coming down, taking more girls upstairs, then coming to get more recruits an hour later.
      “The players all invited a selection of girls. None of us knew about the location until we were sent a video on the day.
      “We were sworn to secrecy. On arrival at the hotel we were searched like we were passing through airport security.”
      The party was hosted in May last year by a player celebrating his birthday.
      The use of NDAs to control and silence women has previously sparked widespread fury.
      Women’s Aid hit out after we revealed this April how a married England player silenced his secret lover by making her sign a legal gagging order.
      The charity said then: “It is horrendous for a woman to be faced with intimidating behaviour from a football player, whereby she feels forced to sign an NDA and delete photos and messages.
      “We run a campaign, Football United Against Domestic Violence, that tries to promote healthy relationships, and footballers using financial power and status to legally intimidate women is abusive.
      “We need to stand up against controlling behaviour in relationships together. It is unacceptable.”
      NDAs are used for mergers and acquisitions but have been increasingly deployed by public figures.

      The Solicitors Regulation Authority issued a warning notice about their improper use in 2020.
      And the Women and Equalities Committee says they are used to silence victims of sexual harassment at work. More

      A clubber said: “You’d never have guessed Jadon’s career was struggling. He had a grin on his face all night.”
      Another said: “Jadon and Amir were having a great time. It’s such an unlikely pairing. We weren’t expecting to see them.

      “Earlier in the evening they had both practically sprinted down the red carpet.
      “They didn’t want to speak to any journalists because they knew people would ask about their relationship.
