Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has been handed an eight-game ban for his insolent behaviour during his side’s FA Cup quarter final defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford last month.
The exasperated attacker lost his cool during the match and pushed the referee.
The Serbian international was shown a straight red card for manhandling Chris Kavanagh after the official awarded a penalty and dismissed Fulham’s Willian for deliberate handball on the line.
Fulham manager Marco Silva was also shown a red card at the time and will serve a two-game ban.
Silva’s men were leading 1-0 at the time of the red cards, but went on to lose 3-1 at Old Trafford.
