Stoke City midfielder Joe Allen has said that Derby's Bradley Johnson did not bite him in Wednesday's Championship clash between the two sides, despite viral footage leading many to believe otherwise.
Allen's Stoke eventually won the match 2-1, but the biggest talking point came in the first half, when Johnson appeared to bite Allen's shoulder in the fracas that followed Oghenekaro Etebo's red card - with videos and images of the incident sparking social media outrage.
