Sunderland fans are furious with Steven Fletcher after he was snapped with his new £260,000 Lamborghini Aventador supercar.

The pic appeared just days before their 4-0 humiliation at home by Aston Villa.

Janet Rowan, from the Sunderland Supporters' Association, told the Daily Mirror: "We know footballers have these big flash cars. I just think the timing was really appalling and I can really understand the way that people have felt about this."

However, his agent Scott Fisher told the Daily Record that Fletcher had not put the image on Twitter - adding that it was the company who sold the supercar who posted the picture online.

Mr Fisher said: "It wasn't Steven that put the picture up. The company who were doing advertising on it done it. I don't know what the problem is and what people are getting excited about."
