Oldham boss Mellon charged by FA following red card

Oldham Athletic manager Micky Mellon has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association following his red card during his side's FA Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday.

He was sent off in the 83rd minute of Sunday's tie by referee Martin Woods for appearing to move his head towards Wednesday forward Callum Slattery in an aggressive manner.

Mellon has been charged with acting in an improper manner and/or using violent conduct and he has until Friday, 13 November to respond.

Without him on the sidelines, the Latics secured an extra-time victory over the League One side to set up a second-round trip to Grimsby Town.
