"Most of the talk immediately following the game centred on Adebayor's inflammatory goal celebration.
After scoring City's third goal 10 minutes from time, he ran the length of the field and slid on his knees in front of the stand containing the visiting Arsenal supporters.
"The emotion took over me," admitted Adebayor. "Now I just have to say sorry.
"It was silly to run up in front of the Arsenal fans but these people have been insulting me all game. Even in the warm-up they were insulting me. They were saying things that are not nice to hear, personal things.
Important win for Man City - Hughes
"I didn't plan it, not at all. I didn't even know that I would score. The way things were going from the warm-up, at the end it came into my head."
It later emerged that a match steward needed hospital treatment after being hit by a flying object in the wake of Adebayor's goal celebration.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman stated: "The steward received a head injury from a flying object, which appeared to have been thrown from the direction of the away end.
"We were told the steward was unconscious for a few seconds before being taken to hospital and later discharged."
The spokesman, who could not confirm whether the steward was male or female, said police would investigate the assault.
Adebayor added: "I heard that a steward was injured and I regret that. I would like to apologise to the steward for what happened."
Additional reports suggest the FA are also to look at an alleged stamp by Adebayor on Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas. "
