The Gunners captain claims Adebayor should have been sent off for an X-rated challenge which left him with stud marks and a three-inch gash on his shin. Fabregas revealed the scars from his injury to Mirror Sport and said he was shocked that the Manchester City striker completely lost his cool with his former team-mates.

I was lucky my foot was in the air when it happened. You know this is football and it can happen. "All I tried to do when he was at Arsenal was to create opportunities for him to score. So I think I didn't do too bad for him. It is strange. It is football and we don't think about him any more." City striker Adebayor was yesterday hit with a three-game FA ban for violent conduct after stamping on Arsenal striker Robin van Persie. Van Persie branded Adebayor "mindless and malicious" after the second half stamping incident. And it is clear that Adebayor has become Public Enemy No.1 throughout the Arsenal dressing room. Adebayor was wearing studs during the first half at Eastlands on Saturday which left imprints on Fabregas's leg but switched to blades at half time. Dutch striker van Persie claims that if he had still been wearing studs in the second half then he could have lost an eye. Fabregas believes Adebayor twice set out to "do him" with Xrated lunges while the City striker also slapped former teammate Alex Song. CAPTION(S): DING DONG
