Fulham manager Marco Silva has received a further fine for his post-match comments aimed at referee Chris Kavanagh after his team FA Cup 1/4 final exit against Manchester United on March 19.
Fulham were at the receiving end of an extraordinary turn of events in their 3-1 loss at Old Trafford. The London team looked set for a shocking 1-0 win, before Willian, Aleksandar Mitrovich and head-coach Silva all received red cards in a matter of seconds and of top of that the Cottagers conceded a penalty as the game was turned on its head in the closing stages.
After the game, Silva lashed out at match officials, claiming that both side were not treated equally.
The FA have now charged the Portuguese boss with misconduct for comments that ‘imply bias and/or the question the integrity of the match official, and/or bring the game into disrepute’.
This comes in addition to his previous misconduct which is abusive behaviour aimed at match officials and allegedly throwing a water bottle at the assistant referee.
