MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Fulham had two players and manager Marco Silva sent off before quickly conceding twice against Manchester United as its FA Cup dreams collapsed. Fulham led 1-0 through Aleksandar Mitrovic’s goal in the quarterfinal match at Old Trafford but the game was turned round after United was awarded a penalty when Willian handled Jadon Sancho’s goalbound shot on the line. VAR asked referee Chris Kavanagh to review the incident and it showed Willian used his arm to divert the shot. Silva was shown a red for remonstrating, Willian was sent off for the handball and Mitrovic was dismissed for his angry reaction all in the space of 40 seconds. United won 3-1.
