Cesc Fabregas reveals what really happened during the Battle of the Buffet

Cesc Fabregas has admitted to throwing a slice of pizza at Sir Alex Ferguson during the 'Battle of the Buffet' but insisted he wasn't aiming for the United manager.

The incident took place in October 2004 when Fabregas launched a slice of pizza at the Manchester United boss following Arsenal's 2-0 loss at Old Trafford.

Fabregas said he was furious after the game as the result ended Arsenal's unbeaten league run at 49 games but insisted he did not want to take part in the fight in the tunnel.
