Former Premier League referee details how Fulham should be punished after Manchester United chaos

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Former Premier League referee Graham Poll insists that Fulham should be heavily punished by the Football Association following the chaotic scenes that unfolded during the second half of their 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

After taking a deserved 50th-minute lead through striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, Fulham lost their heads with a little under 20 minutes of normal time left on the clock.

After United winger Jadon Sancho had rounded goalkeeper Bernd Leno and saw a goal-bound effort blocked on the line by Willian's outstretched arm, referee Chris Kavanagh, following a VAR intervention, was left with no choice but to award the Reds a penalty and send Willian off.

The decision resulted in Mitrovic failing to control his emotions, shoving Kavanagh and getting up in his face to protest about the decision.
