Christian Benteke: Crystal Palace striker faces driving ban for speeding

Premier League star Christian Benteke is facing a possible driving ban after he was caught speeding twice in two months.

The Crystal Palace striker, 28, has admitted driving his Bentley at 80mph in a 50mph zone on the A3 in Richmond, south west London, on January 20.

The Belgian was then flashed by speed cameras at 89mph, more than double the 40mph limit, in Putney, south west London, in March.

Benteke, of Kingston Hill, Surrey, is not required to be present at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court this morning.

He pleaded guilty to both offences at the start of July under the single justice procedure, where minor offences are decided by a magistrate sitting alone.
