Did Bradley Johnson of Derby bite Joe Allen from Stoke in their clash against the Sky Bet Championship on Wednesday night?

The duo was found in a scrum after Peter Etebo of Stoke was sent off in the 33rd minute of the live Sky Sports showdown at bet365 stadium.

The television footage seems to show Johnson bitten by Allen, but Stoke's director, Gary Rowett, has insisted full-time that they do not file any formal complaints.

"Someone originally said that Bradley had bitten Joe, but I think Joe said it was not too serious, we will certainly not complain."

"I spoke to the referee telling him that it was not a problem and that we did not want to look at it anymore. For me, it was just part of a scrum." .

"Bradley is a great boy and a good professional, I'm pretty sure it would not have been, Joe said it was not too bad, we will not complain."

Liam Rosenior, Sky Sports expert, looked at the photos at half-time and felt that action could be taken against the Derby player.

"Once you have acted mordantly, you expose yourself to all sorts of problems," he said.

"I think Bradley Johnson, looking back, will be a little embarrbaded about it.The referee is in a very good position and I'm surprised the referee did not see him.

"This is a task that the FA has to look at after the match retrospectively if it deserves a ban.

"Once you bite someone, you put yourself and your team in all types of problems."
