Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has been banned for eight matches for shoving referee Chris Kavanagh and was sent off in the FA Cup tie against Manchester United.

The Federation demands the strengthening of sanctions against Aleksandar Mitrovich

Aleksandar Mitrovic, Willian and Fulham coach Marco Silva were sent off in the 72nd minute of the FA Cup quarter-final match with Manchester United on March 19, the Daily Mail writes.

After Willian blocked the ball with his hand on the goal line, Mitrovic and Silva vehemently protested the referee and the Serbian forward pushed him.

Oleksandr Mitrovich received at least eight game suspensions, and the coach received two games in the stands by an independent commission.

However, the English Football Association announced that the sanctions were too lenient.

“We intend to appeal both sanctions, but before that we will wait for the arguments of the commission,” the FA said in a statement.

At the time of the outbreak of the scandal, “Fulham” was leading with a score of 1:0 after the goal of Mitrovic himself. With two extra players, Manchester United won the game 3-1.
