"Mitrovic Receives Eight-Game Ban for Pushing Referee in Premier League Match"

Fulham FC striker Aleksandar Mitrović has been given an eight-game ban for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh in the team’s FA Cup loss against Manchester United. The club, Mitrović and coach Marco Silva were all sanctioned after the 3-1 loss at Old Trafford last month that saw two players and the manager sent off. Mitrović was issued with a three-match ban for violent conduct, in addition to the three-match ban he had already received for the red card offense. The FA Regulatory Commission imposed an additional nearly $25,000 [£20,000] fine to Silva for “question[ing] the integrity of the match official and bring[ing] the game into disrepute.”

Mitrovic barged into referee Chris Kavanagh, while Silva berated officials and threw a water bottle in Kavanagh's direction.

"Fulham's Self-Sabotage and Man Utd's Lucky Escape"

Fulham's dream of reaching their first FA Cup semi-final in 21 years was destroyed by a shameful act of self-sabotage. After leading 1-0 against Manchester United, Fulham conceded a penalty and had two players sent off, including Aleksandar Mitrovic who pushed the referee. Manager Marco Silva was also sent off for confronting the referee. The incident sets a bad example for the treatment of match officials and could result in lengthy bans for Mitrovic and Silva. Despite the setback, Fulham's season has already been a success, but the frustration of missing out on an FA Cup fairytale remains.
