From Eric Cantona kicking a fan to Luis Suarez BITING Branislav Ivanovic... the 10 longest suspensions in Premier League history as Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic receives an eight-match ban for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh

Aleksandar Mitrovic has been handed one of the longest punishments in Premier League history after he was banned for eight games for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh in Fulham's FA Cup exit to Manchester United last month.

The normal three-match ban has been extended to eight games, though the FA are planning to appeal the suspension, as they want the Serbian striker to receive an even heftier punishment.

Mitrovic served the first match of his ban in Fulham's 2-1 defeat at the Bournemouth, and the earliest he can return is their May 13 clash against Southampton - with two games left remaining after that.
