FA Investigates Alleged Biting Incident in Preston-Blackburn Derby
Preston's Milutin Osmajic accused of biting Blackburn's Owen Beck during a heated Championship match.
- The alleged incident occurred in the 89th minute of the goalless draw, following Beck's red card for kicking out at an opponent.
- Blackburn manager John Eustace claims Beck has a visible bite mark on the back of his neck.
- Osmajic was shown a yellow card during the match, but the FA has now launched an investigation.
- Preston manager Paul Heckingbottom stated there is no place for biting in football, though he did not witness the incident.
- A similar incident in 2013 saw Liverpool's Luis Suarez receive a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.
