Jack Grealish Fined By Aston Villa for Late Night Party in Birmingham Hotel
Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has been fined by the club for his part in an all-night party last weekend.
The 21-year-old attended the party at a Birmingham hotel in the early hours of last Sunday morning and was suspended for Villa's draw with Newcastle on Saturday.
"We've fined the boy and he was suspended for today," said Villa manager Roberto di Matteo.
"It's not the first time but he needs to learn from the past and the only one who can do that is himself. He needs to make the right decisions.

"He's 21 now and needs to understand what kind of career he has ahead of him. As long as he does what he's supposed to do we will treat him like everyone else."
"You have to speak differently with every player, and I have my way to speak with Jack."
Villa meanwhile stretched their winless streak to six games after the draw with the Magpies left them with just nine points from as many games. Villa currently lie 17th in the Championship table and, as pressure begins to mount, Di Matteo is adamant victories are not far away.
"I said let's just put them under pressure and let's ask some questions," Di Matteo told Sky Sports.

"We changed the formation a little bit as well and managed to get more of a hold of the ball and created some real problems for Newcastle. I really thought that towards the end we would have the opportunity to win the game as well.
"We had plenty of chances and we got into very good positions. Just the last pass was missing, but there was somebody at the end of the last cross."
