Fulham’s Mitrovic gets 8-match ban, fine for shoving referee FMTNews FMTSports
LONDON: Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has been handed an eight-match ban and a £75,000 fine for shoving the referee during their FA Cup loss at Manchester United last month, the Football Association said on Tuesday.
Serbian Mitrovic was sent off after confronting referee Chris Kavanagh and pushing him with his shoulder. “We claimed 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 around the 72nd minute was clearly insufficient,” the FA’s independent Regulatory Commission said in a statement.
“The forward separately admitted that his behaviour and language after being sent off was improper, abusive, insulting and threatening.”During the second half of the 3-1 loss to United at Old Trafford, a confrontation broke out after Fulham’s Willian was red-carded for handling the ball in the penalty area following a VAR review.Silva angrily addressed the fourth official before being shown a red card.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.
