- Battle_of_the_Buffet abstract "The "Battle of the Buffet" is a name used by the British press to refer to a memorable Premier League match played between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Sunday, 24 October 2004. The final result, a 2–0 victory for Manchester United proved to be significant as it ended Arsenal's 49-match unbeaten run. Along with contentious decisions and ill-tempered challenges on the pitch, the game was best remembered for a food-related brawl in the tunnel – dubbed as "Pizzagate" by the media.The highlights of the match included a series of unprofessional fouls that were overlooked by referee Mike Riley, such as Rio Ferdinand on Fredrik Ljungberg in the 19th minute and striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's studs-up challenge on Ashley Cole. Arsenal dictated much of the play and created several openings, but as the game progressed Manchester United threatened. The home team were awarded a controversial penalty in the 73rd minute, as Wayne Rooney tumbled over Sol Campbell's outstretched leg. Van Nistelrooy converted the penalty kick and late in the game Rooney scored for 2–0.In the tunnel after the match tempers boiled over between staff of both clubs. It was alleged that pizza had been thrown at Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson by an unidentified Arsenal player; speculation later arose that it was Cesc Fàbregas, but this has never been confirmed. Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger was furious in his post-match briefing, criticising Riley for his performance and describing Van Nistelrooy as a cheat. His comments were investigated by The Football Association, who later fined him £15,000 for improper conduct. Van Nistelrooy was retrospectively banned for three matches as his challenge on Cole was missed by Riley.The result was pivotal in the league season and in the rivalry between the two clubs. Arsenal's form suffered as a result; having entered the match as league leaders they found themselves five points behind Chelsea in December. Manchester United struggled for consistency and finished behind Arsenal in third. Both clubs later met each other in the Football League Cup and were FA Cup finalists. Ferguson, following his retirement in 2013, reflected the "Battle of the Buffet" as a watershed moment for Wenger as it disorientated his management and put a strain on their relationship.".
