Joe Allen refuted claims that he was bitten by Derby midfielder Bradley Johnson in Stoke's 2-1 win on Wednesday night.

The incident arose as a result of a challenge launched by Peter Etebo to Richard Keogh, who saw the Potters player ejected.

The match was broadcast live on Sky Sports and reruns showed that Johnson was pushing his mouth into Allen 's shoulder.

He is thought to have managed to get a mouthful of the Welsh international jersey and Allen was baffled by suggestions that he was bitten.

Both players were full and Allen told Stoke Sentinel: "People have been asking me what had happened at halftime and suggested that I had been bitten, but that was not enough. Was not realized.

"He may have grabbed some of my shirt, but I think we can let him rest."

Rams' manager, Frank Lampard, said about the incident: "Joe Allen and Gary Rowett just said that there was not much in it (the alleged incident I did not see him again, so I can not give any information apart. "

His interlocutor, Gary Rowett, said, "Originally, someone said it was a little Joe Allen, Bradley Johnson.

"I spoke to Joe Allen, he did not say anything problematic, and the referee.We will certainly not claim anything and hope that no one else will do . "
