Match official Kavanagh went to the screen and awarded the home side with a penalty kick.<\/p>\n<p>Since Willian stopped a clear goal the inevitable happened as he was shown a straight red.<\/p>\n<p>However, Fulham misery didn&#8217;t end here as Aleksander Mitrovic extraordinarily pushed the referee out of anger and was subsequently dismissed. That brough Fulham down to nine men in a blink of an eye.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, manager Marco Silva was also dismissed from the sideline after Interfering with the match officials.<\/p>\n<p>Up stepped Bruno Fernandes and the Portuguese was merciless from the spot, slotting the ball in the bottom right-hand corner with power and precision.<\/p>\n<p>Just two minutes later Marcel Sabitzer made the most from Luke Shaw&#8217;s cross to complete the full comeback.<\/p>\n<p>Fernandes added a third one deep into stoppage time and that was enough for the Red Devils to go through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where they will face Brighton and, fortunately for them, avoid Manchester City, who will take on Sheffield United.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aleksander Mitrovic opened the scoring in the 50th minute after an uneventful first half to give the visiting side an unexpected lead.
