During a turbulent few minutes that also resulted in the dismissal of two other Fulham players, Willian and head coach Marco Silva, Mitrovic shoved referee Chris Kavanagh.
The Football Association (FA) has criticized Mitrovic’s dismissal as “obviously insufficient” and accused him of employing improper, abusive, insulting, and threatening language and/or behavior.

The FA has also charged Fulham with failing to guarantee that its players acted in an orderly manner, as well as Silva with a number of violations, including using abusive and/or insulting words and/or gestures and/or behavior towards the match referee and fourth official. The issue has received special scrutiny, and more disciplinary action may be taken.
