Manchester United booked their place in the semi-finals of this season's FA Cup with a come-from-behind 3-1 win over Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
After an uninspiring and lifeless opening 70 minutes from Erik ten Hag's side, they were offered a route back into the contest after the most dramatic 60 seconds of action you are ever likely to witness on a football pitch. After Jadon Sancho had seen his goal-bound effort cleared off the line by Willian, referee Chris Kavanagh, following a VAR intervention, was told to review the incident on the pitchside monitor and was left with no choice but to dismiss the Brazilian for handball and denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Before Kavanagh had even sent the former Arsenal man for an early bath, Fulham boss Marco Silva saw red for his touchline protests. But while Silva had failed to keep his cool, Aleksandar Mitrovic, who had earlier given the Londoners the lead, completely lost control of his senses, elbowing Kavanagh before getting right up in his face to make his feelings clear, resulting in another red card.
