Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has received an eight-match ban for his shove on ref Chris Kavanagh.

Mitrovic pushed Kavanagh when he awarded a penalty and sent off team-mate Willian during the FA Cup defeat at Manchester United.

Kavanagh showed the red card, meaning an automatic three-game ban. But the shove led to an investigation and the FA have extended the suspension by five games and also handed the Serb a 75,000 fine.

Fulham manager Marco Silva, who was also sent off during the incident, receives a two-game touchline ban and 40,000 fine for his behaviour and also post-mach comments.

Mitrovic served the first of his suspension in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth.

He will now miss Fulham's next seven matches before returning for May's trip to Southampton.
