FA are preparing to take action against Aleksandar Mitrovic for his shove on referee Chris Kavanagh as they await the official's match report... despite not punishing Bruno Fernandes for barging a linesman at Anfield earlier this month

The FA are set to take action against Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic after he was sent off for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh in his side's 3-1 FA Cup defeat by Manchester United on Sunday.

Mitrovic had put the Cottagers ahead early in the second half at Old Trafford, but the game was turned on its head when Willian conceded a penalty and was shown a red card for blocking Jadon Sancho's shot on the goal-line with his arm.

After Kavanagh gave Willian his marching orders following VAR intervention, he was confronted by Mitrovic who shoved him and then continued to shout in his face.
