NEWCASTLE (Reuters) - After watching his side go down to 10 men and losing 3-0 at Newcastle, Fulham boss Marco Silva lashed out at referee Sam Barrott, who he said was not experienced enough to perform under pressure in front of a partisan crowd on Saturday.

Fulham had Raul Jimenez sent off in the 22nd minute for an aerial lunge on Sean Longstaff after the Mexican striker hit the Newcastle midfielder in the face with his hip as he attempted to block a pass.
