MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Fulham manager Marco Silva was left furious with referee Chris Kavanagh after he and two of his players were sent off in the space of 40 seconds during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Manchester United in their FA Cup quarter-final.
Silva plus two of his players -- Willian and Aleksander Mitrovic -- were shown red cards when a melee erupted midway through the second half at Old Trafford.
Asked if he could repeat what he said, the Portuguese manager snapped:"I don't remember. That he was a really nice guy, or the decision was fair or something like that."Silva felt his players really missed his presence during the latter stages of the match.
