Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is banned for EIGHT matches for shoving referee Chris Kavanagh and manager Marco Silva is given a two-match suspension… but FA want LONGER bans and plan to appeal

The FA is planning to appeal Aleksandar Mitrovic's suspension of eight matches and Marco Silva's two-match touchline ban for their furious clash with referee Chris Kavanagh at Old Trafford last month and call for longer sanctions.

During Fulham's FA Cup quarter-final defeat against Manchester United on March 19, Willian, Mitrovic and Silva were all given their marching orders by Kavanagh in what turned into a crazy 40-second spell at Old Trafford.

After Willian was brandished a red card for blocking a ball on the line with his hand, all hell broke loose as Mitrovic and Silva angrily protested the decision.
