Marco Silva risks an FA suspension as Fulham boss criticises referee Samuel Barrott's lack of experience after Raul Jimenez was sent off in 3-0 loss to Newcastle

Fulham manager Marco Silva has risked an FA suspension following his criticism of referee Samuel Barrott.

Silva's side lost 3-0 away to Newcastle, with all three goals coming after the dismissal of Fulham's Raul Jimenez in the 22nd minute.

According to Silva, Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles should have been punished for an elbow on Jimenez before the striker was sent off.

Barrott was taking charge of just his eighth Premier League match and Silva stated that the Premier League should appoint referee who have more experience and can handle pressure.
