The pair, who had been drinking with two other couples while their children slept upstairs started arguing after Barton threatened to fight his wife’s brother and father, Westminster Magistrates’ Court previously heard.
Barton, who was the manager of Bristol Rovers at the time, will be sentenced at a later date.
