Rowett: 'No complaints on Johnson bite'

Pictures appeared to show Johnson putting his teeth on Joe Allen's shoulder, however the Stoke City manager has played down the claims. 

"I spoke to the referee, saying it's not a problem and we don't want anything further to be looked at. To me, it was just part of a melee", he told 'Sky Sports'. 

"Bradley is a great lad and a good professional and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been. Joe said it wasn't anything too serious. We won't be making any complaints."

Derby manager Frank Lampard was also keen to downplay the situation, particularly with Johnson already set to miss the club's next match due to the booking he picked up for the altercation.

"I don't know, it's one to look back on but I certainly wasn't told Bradley bit anyone," Lampard said.

"I took him off as part of a tactical change, I haven't spoken to Bradley about it and to be honest they [Stoke City] were claiming a lot on the bench to be fair."
