It began with the Burnley players refusing to shake Milutin Osmajic’s hand, with the Preston North End striker accused of racially abusing Hannibal Mejbri in a previous tie. It ended with the Montenegrin taunting Burnley fans after his goal helped Preston into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Osmajic got Preston’s second of three goals late in the first half after Robbie Brady’s outstanding free-kick had put North End in front in the 31st minute, and Will Keane added a third midway through the second half as Preston put an emphatic end to Burnley’s 23-game unbeaten run.
