  Who claims? Mitrovic accepted the charge?

  He accepted the charge so he didn't get a lengthier ban but still claims it wasn't a foul.

  Headline reads: -
  Aleksandar Mitrovic says elbow on Manuel Lanzini 'was not even a foul'
  
  In the text he says: -
  It wasn’t even a foul in the game.
  
  So as the ref didn't blow for a foul, as he didn't see it, so Mitrovic feels it wasn't a foul.
  
  If he really felt hard done by he should have appealed as you rarely get a lengthier ban unless the appeal is seen as frivolous.
