Aleksandar Mitrovic has apologised to referee Chris Kavanagh and expressed his regret after he was sent off for pushing the official during Fulham's recent FA Cup defeat against Manchester United.
Mitrovic had fired the Londoners into a second-half lead in their quarter-final tie at Old Trafford earlier this month. However, the match was turned on its head after Willian deliberately stopped a shot on the line with his hand. Fulham boss Marco Silva saw red whilst Kavanagh was checking the incident via VAR before an incensed Mitrovic put his hands on the match official. The Serbian striker, along with Willian, was also sent off, leaving Fulham with just nine men.
Manchester United scored their penalty and went on to win the tie 3-1, much to the dismay of the Whites, who had been the better team before the second-half flashpoint.
