The Serbian international was shown a straight red card in a moment of madness when he pushed referee Chris Kavanagh following his decision to send off Mitrovic's teammate Willian for an obvious handball on the goal line in their 3-1 loss to Manchester United in the F.A Cup quarter-final.

But the Fulham striker continued to berate the official, shoving his finger in his face and shouted at him for over 30 seconds before being dragged away by his teammates and coaches down the tunnel at Old Trafford.
