Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor says that he could not bear another cup final defeat at Wembley.

Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has vowed to sling his runners-up medal into the nearest tree if his side are defeated by Arsenal in the FA Cup final.

The 28-year-old said that he could not bear a repeat of the 2010 League Cup final when the Villans suffered Wembley heartbreak at the hands of Manchester United.

"I don't know where that medal is. I don't keep runners-up medals. It is probably still at Wembley in the trees somewhere," the Daily Star quotes Agbonlahor as saying.

"If we lost again? I won't be taking that one home with me either. It will be in a tree opposite Wembley somewhere!"

Villa reached the final after knocking out local rivals West Bromwich Albion in the quarters, before beating Liverpool in the semis.
