21 Jan
Summary
- Milutin Osmajic headbutted opponent John Lundstram, receiving a red card.
- A large brawl involving players and staff erupted on the field.
- Osmajic recently served a nine-match ban for racial abuse.
In the dying moments of Preston's defeat to Hull City, striker Milutin Osmajic was ejected after headbutting opponent John Lundstram. The aggressive action escalated into a widespread altercation involving both teams' players and coaching staff, prompting security intervention and additional red cards.
This volatile incident occurred while Preston trailed 3-0. The match concluded with Hull securing a 3-0 win, their third consecutive triumph.
Osmajic faces a minimum three-game suspension for his straight red card. This latest disciplinary action follows a significant nine-match ban Osmajic received earlier in January 2026 after an FA investigation into alleged racial abuse. He was also fined £21,000 for that offense, stemming from an incident in February 2025.
Previously, in October 2024, Osmajic received an eight-match suspension for admitting to biting an opponent.
