Fulham duo Marco Silva and Aleksandar Mitrovic apologise for red card incidents in Man United defeat

Fulham manager Marco Silva and striker Aleksandar Mitrovic have both apologised to referee Chris Kavanagh for their behaviour in the FA Cup defeat against Manchester United.

Mitrovic was sent off for putting his hands on Kavanagh in protest at Willian's dismissal for handling the ball on the goalline in the clash earlier this month. Silva, meanwhile, was shown a red card for reacting angrily on the touchline at Old Trafford. The London club took the lead in the game, but United came from behind to win 3-1.

In addition to apologising for the incident, Serbian frontman Mitrovic, who scored the opening goal in the 50th minute, has also volunteered to accept a club fine and said sorry to his teammates for letting them down with his reaction.
