Unbelievable in England: Coach Headbutts Opposing Player

It’s truly incredible what happened during the match between Oldham Athletic and Sheffield Wednesday in the first round of the FA Cup. The incident occurred around the 84th minute, when the home team’s coach, Micky Mellon, got into an altercation in his technical area with Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Callum Slattery.

Mellon exchanged a few unkind words with Slattery, who approached him menacingly; the Scottish coach couldn’t control himself and headbutted him, but fortunately, members of the Oldham Athletic staff and other players intervened.

At first, the two men refused to back down, and it took several minutes to restore order on the field. Subsequently, the referee sent off Micky Mellon, who now faces a heavy suspension for the incident.

The Oldham Athletic manager was therefore forced to watch the rest of the match from the stands. At the time of his ejection, the score was 1-1; then, in extra time, in the 110th minute, Will Sutton scored the winning goal for the home team.
