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.

He was also fined £21,000 for that offense, stemming from an incident in February 2025.
