Fulham boss Marco Silva said it was difficult to accept after his side lost 3-1 to Manchester United and knocked them out of the FA Cup quarters, despite the fledgling tycoon likely having the ball. Penalty in the first half but has been overlooked
Silva Giving an interview after the game at Old Trafford on Sunday, March 19, that if there was no penalty that the home team received until it was an equalizer goal, the little magnate was playing clearly superior, thus making him Can’t help but wonder why the Red Devils didn’t concede a penalty in the first half.
“We deserve to talk about the game. And it’s not just one event. Before the penalty and the red card, we were obviously the superior team on the pitch, we respected Manchester United, but we were clearly superior.
“We conceded a penalty due to VAR’s decision. It’s difficult to understand why in two incidents in the first half we didn’t get a clear penalty from Mitrovic. Why was there no Cech?”
As for his own dismissal, the Portuguese coach said, “I don’t deserve to be fired. I don’t want it to happen it’s my place I didn’t do anything if i do something I’m happy to be fired. If you ask me if it deserves a red card? I was very curious. I’m also curious if the referee will write a report of what I said to him.
“Chris Kavanaugh decided the game we played against West Ham away in which we conceded two handballs. We accepted the apology because it was a mistake and the next game against Leeds in the FA Cup was him again. And the game in the eight teams was him again. it’s hard to understand Of course we respect the top referees in this country. But unfortunately for us it wasn’t happy at all.
However, Silva admits that Mitrovic should control his temper in the unfortunate moment. But it was difficult to deal with the situation.”
