Fulham manager Marco Silva thinks Aleksandar Mitrovic should be spared a lengthy ban after he was shown a straight red card for pushing the referee in Manchester United's 3-1 victory in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup at the weekend.

Although Fulham opened the scoring shortly after the beginning of the second half, the game was blown open after a chaotic few minutes, which saw Willian sent off for handling the ball and strong protests from Mitrovic and Silva.

In extraordinary circumstances, Mitrovic and Silva were shown straight red cards for their protests, Bruno Fernandes subsequently scored the penalty that had been given and, just a few minutes later, United scored again to make the game 2-1.
