FA hit Fabregas with improper conduct charge over Horton spat

ARSENAL captain Cesc Fabregas has been charged with improper conduct by the FA following allegations he spat at Hull assistant boss Brian Horton after the FA Cup tie at the Emirates Stadium on March 17.

The Gunners were asked by the FA to provide their observations, and according to manager Arsene Wenger, they have now decided to take the matter further.

Fabregas, who was not playing against Hull because of a knee injury, issued a statement on the evening of the incident to deny he spat at Horton in the tunnel.
