Mellon sent off for headbutting Slattery

Mellon sent off for headbutting Slattery

Oldham Athletic manager Micky Mellon was sent off after headbutting Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Callum Slattery during their FA Cup first round tie at Boundary Park. The incident occurred six minutes from the end of normal time, with Mellon appearing to grab Slattery by the back of the neck and push his head into the opponent's face, knocking him over.

The touchline descended into chaos as players and staff from both teams became involved in a mass brawl before they were eventually separated. Referee Martin Woods then showed Mellon a red card, and the manager will now serve a three-match touchline ban, missing his side's next appearance in this year's FA Cup.

Despite the chaos, League Two Oldham pulled off a shock victory over their League One opponents, with Will Sutton scoring an incredible 110th-minute winner. Calum Kavanagh had put Oldham ahead in the 66th minute with a fierce drive after Mike Fondop headed on Noah Chilvers' cross, before former Oldham forward Davis Keillor-Dunn equalised for Wednesday ten minutes later.
