Fair enough, I thought you had seen it and were in agreement with the consensus on here (which I also am by the way). My apologies.
I was there actually, but I live in the Shepherds Bush area, so I've long since come home and seen both incidents on the box. A lighter clearly struck Ivanovic in the back, while other objects like coins, plastic bottles etc were being peltered at the players. Personally, I don't think Fabregas' celebration is an excuse. The fans were peltering the players with abuse all game, so while ill advised, I can understand why some would choose to give a little back after scoring a late winner, without fear of having things thrown at you.
