Fabregas gets a spitting headache

LONDON: Arsenal's club captain Cesc Fabregas categorically denied spitting at anyone after his side's 2-1 FA Cup win over Hull City on Tuesday, following an accusation made by rival coach Phil Brown.

"I categorically deny that I spat at anybody after the match," Fabregas, who did not play because of injury, said.

"I have never done this in my whole career on the pitch, so why would I do it when I am not even playing?
