Chelsea star N'Golo Kante crashes second hand Mini on way to Arsenal game

Former Leicester star N'Golo Kante avoided injury when he crashed his car on the way to Chelsea's cup clash with Arsenal.

The midfielder collided with a lorry before starting the game at Stamford Bridge, which ended goalless.

The second hand car looked a little the worse for wear after the collision, with a fan capturing the aftermath.

They told The Sun: "His wing mirror was smashed and his front wheel arch was all dented.

"He must have been pretty annoyed but he was more than happy for fans to take selfies with him."

Despite making £110,000 a week at Chelsea Kante has still kept hold of his Mini.

He said last year: “I’ve never been someone who loves a car and when I was young I didn’t have the ambition of a car or something like that.

“But my Mini, for the beginning, was good to learn to drive on the left.

"I got it in Leicester. And I still have it now. But it’s good.”

Kante's bump meant he missed the team bus taking Chelsea to the Bridge from a nearby hotel.

Instead, he drove to the stadium.

The match finished 0-0 meaning the tie is finely poised heading into the second leg of the semi-final at the Emirates.
