Fulham defeats Manchester United 3-1 as Marco Silva calls for "fairness" in Aleksandar Mitrovic's suspension
Posted : 04 April 2023
In a few tumultuous minutes, Mitrovic, winger Willian, and Silva were all given the red card, upending a gripping FA Cup match with Manchester United.
With 20 minutes remaining, Willian blocked Jadon Sancho's goal-bound attempt when Fulham was up 1-0. When the referee watched a replay on a screen at the side of the field, Silva claimed he was kicked off for leaving his technical area.
However, the Fulham manager acknowledged yelling at the official.
"I am not going to lie. I didn't say he was a really nice guy and the decision was fair. But he didn't hear me," Silva said.
When Mitrovic, the goal scorer for Fulham, was also given a red card for intentional handball, he reacted aggressively and shoved Kavanagh's arm. Mitrovic had to be twice dragged away from the official by club personnel and teammates.
