LONDON - ARSENAL captain Cesc Fabregas has been cleared of a charge that he spat at a member of Hull's coaching staff following an FA Cup match in March.
The FA says that a second charge of improper conduct against the Spanish midfielder, after he went on to the pitch at the end of the game, was also found to be 'not proven.'
Fabregas, who did not play in his team's 2-1 win on March 17, had denied spitting at Hull's assistant manager Brian Horton. -- AP
