Aston Villa defender Joleon Lescott left fans enraged after he posted a photo of a $265,000 Mercedes immediately after his side's 0 - 6 English Premier League defeat against Liverpool.
But the former England international, who had played the entire match, blamed accidental pocket tweeting for the embarrassing gaffe.
The Daily Mail reported Lescott tweeted the photo of a Mercedes-AMG 63 Coupe within 15 minutes of fulltime at Villa Park, where the relegation-bound home team was booed.
