Cesc Fabregas was accused of spitting at Hull assistant boss Brian Horton last night.
Hull manager Phil Brown saw his side knocked out of the FA Cup by Arsenal with a controversial late goal.
But despite William Gallas being yards offside as he headed the 84th-minute winner, it was Fabregas’s foul mouth which left Brown outraged.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was also involved in a bust-up with Horton at half-time and Wenger walked down the tunnel at the end without shaking hands with any of the Hull party.
Gallas’ goal sends the Gunners to Wembley for a showdown with Chelsea. It left Brown furious at referee Mike Riley and his linesman Andy Garratt.
Arsenal substitute Samir Nasri’s free-kick was punched by Hull keeper Boaz Myhill and nodded on by Johan Djourou.

Gallas then pounced to head in but TV replays appeared to show that Djourou had got an all-important touch.
It was a desperate blow for Hull who had led from the 12th minute through former Spurs forward Nick Barmby.
Robin van Persie snatched a 74th minute equaliser to stop Hull pulling off another major upset at the Emirates.
It was a priceless leveller after brilliant skill by Andrey Arshavin.
Wenger has not won a trophy since the FA Cup in 2005. But now he has a first trip to the new Wembley.
