FA Takes Action: Osmajic Faces Charges for Alleged Bite on Beck.

Preston North End striker Milutin Osmajic has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association for allegedly biting Blackburn Rovers defender Owen Beck.

Beck, currently on loan from Liverpool, was shown a red card in the dying moments of Sunday’s goalless Lancashire derby for kicking out at Preston's Duane Holmes.

What followed was chaos on the pitch, with the 22-year-old defender passionately arguing with referee Matthew Donohue that Osmajic had bitten him. Meanwhile, Osmajic received a yellow card for his actions.

Television replays seemed to confirm the claim, as they appeared to show the 25-year-old forward biting Beck on his upper back, adding an unexpected twist to an already heated match.
