LONDON — After Hull City's stormy 2-1 F.A. Cup quarterfinal defeat at Arsenal, visiting manager Phil Brown accused the Gunners' captain Cesc Fabregas of spitting at assistant manager Brian Horton.
"I was there, I witnessed it," said Brown.
Fabregas, recovering from a long-term knee injury, denied the allegation, so in effect both men are calling each other a liar.
