Oldham Athletic manager charged with misconduct after red card against Sheffield Wednesday

Oldham Athletic manager Micky Mellon has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association following his dismissal against Sheffield Wednesday. The incident occurred in the 83rd minute of the FA Cup clash at Boundary Park on Sunday, November 8, when Mellon appeared to move his head towards Owls midfielder Callum Slattery. Referee Martin Woods issued Mellon a red card, and the Latics boss now faces a potential three-match touchline ban if found guilty.

Mellon has until Friday, November 13, to respond to the FA's charge of improper conduct and violent conduct. Despite the dismissal, Oldham defeated Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 after extra time, courtesy of goals from Calum Kavanagh and Will Sutton, while Davis Keillor-Dunn scored for the Owls.
