“The standard punishment which would otherwise apply to Mitrovic for the sending off offence of violent conduct that he committed towards the match referee is clearly insufficient.' FFC
during a frantic stretch in Fulham’s 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final loss at Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
It is the conduct of Mitrovic which came under particular scrutiny after his attempt to touch Kavanagh, although the incident was far less dramatic than when Paolo Di Canio got an 11-game ban for pushing Paul Alcock to the ground in 1998. A statement read: “The FA has claimed that the standard punishment which would otherwise apply to Aleksandar Mitrovic for the sending off offence of violent conduct that he committed towards the match referee is clearly insufficient.
Kavanagh initially signalled for a corner but was sent by VAR Neil Swarbrick to the screen, where he dismissed a protesting Silva before awarding a penalty and sending off Willian and then an incandescent Mitrovic – with only 40 seconds separating the three red cards.
