Edu admits tunnel scuffle

Arsenal's Brazilian midfielder Edu today became the first player to admit there was a scuffle between players following last Sunday's clash with Manchester United.

The FA are looking into what happened in the players' tunnel after United's 2-0 victory ended Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run in the Premiership.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said earlier this week that "nothing happened", but Edu said today: "As we went down the tunnel, I saw people being pulled apart, people pushing, pointing and shouting.

"The United players were shouting at us and trying to wind us up about the result. But I didn't see soup being thrown at anyone."

The scuffle has become known as the Battle of the Buffet after United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was reportedly pelted with pizza, soup and sandwiches thrown from the Arsenal team's dressing room.
