Richard Keys takes another brutal swipe at Man Utd striker Wout Weghorst over Aleksandar Mitrovic red card

Richard Keys has aimed yet another brutal dig at Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst after giving his opinion on Fulham's meltdown at Old Trafford.

Fulham looked like causing a major upset in their FA Cup quarter-final against United on Sunday when Aleksandar Mitrovic put the visitors ahead shortly after half-time.

But the match dramatically turned with 15 minutes remaining when Willian was shown a straight red card for handling Jadon Sancho's goalbound shot.

In a moment of madness, Mitrovic pushed referee Chris Kavanagh after he awarded a penalty to United and sent off Willian, resulting in the Serbia international also being shown a straight red card.

To make matters worse for Fulham, manager Marco Silva was also sent off for his protestations.

To compound the misery for the Cottagers, Bruno Fernandes stepped up to score the penalty and equalise for United.

And the home side would go on to take full advantage of playing against nine men, with Marcel Sabitzer's first goal for the club and a second late on from Fernandes securing a 3-1 win for Erik ten Hag's side.

Mitrovic now faces the prospect of a lengthy ban for pushing Kavanagh, with the Football Association currently reviewing the incident.

After the match, comparisons were made with a similar incident involving United midfielder Fernandes, which came in a match against Liverpool in the Premier League earlier this month.

The Portuguese wasn't booked at the time and escaped retrospective punishment despite pushing a linesman late on in United's 7-0 defeat at Anfield.

Keys aims brutal dig at Weghorst

Former Sky Sports presenter Keys has had his say on Mitrovic's red card, claiming Fulham could have gone on to beat United even with 10 men – once again criticising Weghorst, who he has previously labelled a "lump" and a "Burnley flop".

"Let's give Chris Kavanagh credit for his handling of a shambles all of Fulham's making at OT," wrote beIN SPORTS presenter Keys, in his personal blog.

"What were they thinking? Never has a team been more guilty of tossing away a match. Ninety seconds of madness cost them. Kavanagh was terrific and got every call right - including denying Mitrovic a pen in the first half, the incident that sparked Marco Silva's fury.

"Silva thought Kavanagh should've been asked to check his monitor when Mitrovic and the wee man clashed in the box. If Kavanagh had done he wouldn't have changed his mind, but perhaps a look would've satisfied Silva?

"Mitrovic should be banned for some time for his ridiculous attack on the ref. What was going through his mind? The way United were playing I'd have fancied Fulham to beat them with 10 anyway.

"Sending Willian off only evened things up. United only had 10 on. You can't count Weghorst. When he lost control, Mitrovic cost Fulham any chance of winning the game.

"It was an irony that Fernandes got a couple because he should be serving a ban. I still don't know how he escaped an FA charge after he man-handled the assistant at Anfield.

"The FA were weak and should’ve charged him. My Mum used to tell me that 'you reap what you sow'. The FA certainly did this weekend."
