In this file photo taken on March 19, 2023 Fulham’s Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is shown a red card by English referee Chris Kavanagh during the English FA Cup quarter-final football match between Manchester United and Fulham at Old Trafford in Manchester, north-west England. AFPPIX: Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has been handed an eight-game ban after he barged a referee during his side's FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester United last month.
The Serbian international was shown a straight red card for pushing Chris Kavanagh after the official awarded a penalty and dismissed Fulham's Willian for deliberate handball on the line.Silva's men were leading 1-0 at the time of the red cards, but went on to lose 3-1 at Old Trafford. On top of an automatic three-match ban, Mitrovic was handed another three games for violent conduct towards a match official and further two for using language that was “improper, abusive, insulting and threatening”.Mitrovic said last week that he regretted his actions and had spoken to Kavanagh to apologise.
He served the first match of his ban in Fulham's 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth and will remain unavailable until the Cottagers face Southampton on May 13. - AFP
