Hull's full version of events have been received by the Football Association following allegations assistant manager Brian Horton was spat at by Arsenal club captain Cesc Fábregas.

The accusations from the Hull camp followed their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in last month's stormy FA Cup quarter-final at the Emirates Stadium. The Hull manager Phil Brown maintains he saw Fábregas, who was out injured but came on the pitch to celebrate with his team-mates following the final whistle, spit towards Horton in the tunnel at the end of the match.

"My evidence has gone in, Brian Horton's evidence has gone in and Sean Rush's evidence has as well. That is all that has been necessary as regards to us up to now," Brown told the Hull Daily Mail. "There is an independent solicitor representing us and hopefully there will be no bias towards any one club."

Fábregas strenuously denies the allegations, but Brown added: "We really just want the truth to come out. If the truth comes out, then we have got nothing to worry about."

The FA confirmed the relevant documents from Hull have now been received and will be taken into consideration. Both Arsenal and Fábregas could, in due course, also be contacted for their observations before any decision is made by the FA over whether to take the matter further.
