Aleksandr Mitrovic receives eight-game ban for incident during Manchester United vs Fulham

Aleksandr Mitrovic has been handed an eight-game ban for his part in the Fulham's FA Cup quarter-final chaos vs Manchester United last month.

The Cottagers saw two players plus manager Marco Silva sent off within minutes during their game at Old Trafford. Willian was dismissed for handling Jadon Sancho's shot on the goal line, with Silva also shown a red card for his reaction during the VAR process.

Mitrovic then reacted furiously towards Chris Kavanagh, pushing the referee and pointing in his face in a moment of madness that saw him sent for an early bath against United. The Serbian was initially handed a three-game ban, but his reaction led to calls of a long-term suspension which the FA have duly brandished.
