Get a report of the Manchester United vs. Fulham 2022-23 English FA Cup, Quarterfinals football match.

The former [Chelsea](/football/team?id=363) winger was adjudged to have handled the ball on the goalline and was sent off for the infringement. [Aleksandar Mitrovic](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/183209/Aleksandar-Mitrovic) opened the scoring and put Fulham in the ascendancy, but a capitulation on 70 minutes saw the goalscorer sent off, alongside [Willian](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/178487/Willian) as [Bruno Fernandes](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/124091/Bruno-Fernandes) scored the resulting penalty with [Marcel Sabitzer](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173907/Marcel-Sabitzer) giving United the lead two minutes later. [Antony](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/315294/Antony) played in [Jadon Sancho](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259836/Jadon-Sancho), who rounded [Bernd Leno](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/153765/Bernd-Leno) before firing into the recovering Willian. [Manchester United](/football/team?id=360) scored twice in two minutes to come from behind to beat [Fulham](/football/team?id=370) 3-1 at Old Trafford on Sunday and book their place in the FA Cup semifinals. [Issa Diop](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/230963/Issa-Diop) flicked on a corner and Mitrovic was in the right place to tap home, despite calls for a foul on [Marcus Rashford](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/230945/Marcus-Rashford) which were dismissed by a subsequent VAR check.

Man Utd 3 Fulham 1 | Emirates FA Cup quarter-final (Manchester United)

Manchester United reached the semi-finals of the Emirates FA Cup, defeating Fulham 3-1 at Old Trafford, after the visitors had two players sent off in a ...

After the referee and VAR completed the check, a penalty was given and the red card shown to Willian. After a flurry of late Fulham subs, Fernandes put the game to bed. Substitute Antony burst through on the right-hand side and slid the ball to Sancho, whose shot was blocked on the line by the arm of Willian. Mitrovic almost doubled the lead, but De Gea was on hand again with arguably his best stop of the game. And from there, the floodgates would open. His pass picked out Wout Weghorst, who took the ball on to his left foot and fired a low shot straight into Leno’s gloves. Looking up, Rashford’s pass found Fernandes on the edge of area, who tried a shot from distance which sailed wide of Leno’s far post. Palhinha’s tackle just outside of the box played the ball into the path of Willian. But after multiple attempts from the visitors, the deadlock was finally broken. The recovery occurred after Willian was adjudged to have handballed Jadon Sancho’s shot on the line. Moments later, the duo would connect again, when Rashford received the ball from Aaron Wan-Bissaka. His first-time pass across the area was too fast for Rashford to create an opportunity and was collected by the Fulham defence.

Marco Silva and Fulham needed restraint rather than ridicule amid ... (The Independent)

Lengthy suspensions are likely to loom for both manager and striker after FA Cup dismissals.

“The referee sometimes feels the pressure because they are here,” he said. If felt the least of his offences, and yet he was still not Fulham’s greatest offender. “I didn’t say he was a really nice guy and the decision was fair,” he admitted. Mitrovic may have used less force, and Kavanagh did not lose his footing, his finger-pointing added to a picture of needless aggression. “I say to them that I should be there for the difficult moment in the game.” I hope the people who are going to decide [do so] with fairness,” said Silva. None of which altered the reality that he and Mitrovic were dismissed for disputing a correct decision. He contributed to a corrosive culture in the game. He insisted what he said did not merit a red card and yet that he could not remember the words. They should, too, and Mitrovic’s push on the referee ought to incur a sizeable suspension. Not for Willian, who handled on the line in an attempt to block Jadon Sancho’s shot, accepted his fate with dignity and will get a mandatory one-match ban, but for Silva and Aleksandar Mitrovic. [Fulham ](/topic/fulham-fc)employee managed to show a sense of restraint when a decision correctly went against the club at Old Trafford.

Premier League team Fulham had two players and its manager sent off as it lost 3-1 to Manchester United in a dramatic FA Cup quarterfinal on Sunday.

“He was involved in all the moments and it’s tough for him. “Even if the decision came against us. At the same time, he has to control the emotions.” “Of course, we are human beings, but we have to understand the business and the game that we’re playing, and we should control all the emotions.” “[Mitrović] should control the emotions of the game,” Silva added. “Of course, in all the moments of the game, we should control the emotions,” he told reporters, saying his team hadn’t had much “luck” with referee Kavanagh this season.

Positives and negatives: Manchester United 3-1 Fulham (Fulhamish)

Jack Stroudley dissects Fulham's heartbreaking FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United.

It was a moment for big members of the dressing room to calm down and regroup and sadly those big members let Fulham down today. From that moment on we were always doomed to a defeat; we had no focal point and a lot of space on the pitch for a clinical Manchester United side to exploit. Unfortunately for him and Fulham he got his positioning all wrong and as a result the referee had no choice but to award the penalty and send him off. It feels weird giving praise to a player who got sent off in a game (and trust me this isn’t the last you’ll read about Mitrovic in this article) but the Serbian forward was back at it for 70 minutes. A big part of that was down to Joao Palhinha returning, his tenacity in the tackle and ability to press always brings the best out of players and the likes of Harrison Reed and Andreas Pereira performed much better than they have in prior weeks. There aren’t enough words in the English dictionary to describe how upset I am with that insane lapse of judgement from the Fulham players, and Silva, but I’ll try my best.
