Cesc Fabregas has finally admitted he threw the pizza at then-Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson during the 'Battle of the Buffet'.
It is a tale that has entered footballing folklore. Arsenal travelled to Old Trafford on October 24, 2004 with a 49-match unbeaten run on their side. They went on to lose a tempestuous game 2-0.
Both sides clashed in the tunnel and, in a tale that had never been confirmed, Fabregas was understood to have thrown a pizza at Ferguson's face.
Ashley Cole wrote in his autobiography: 'All eyes turned and all mouths gawped to see this pizza slip off that famous puce face and roll down his nice black suit.
