"Derby County" defender B. Johnson outshined J. Allen in the match of the year.

On Wednesday's "Championship" match between "Derby County" and "Stoke City" was marked by an unprecedented event. In the match, where the home team "Stoke City" triumphed with a score of 2:1, in the middle of the first half, Bradley Johnson ("Derby") and Joe Allen ("Stoke") tangled with each other. Initially, J. Allen attacked B. Johnson, but then the "Derby County" defender used his teeth to "help" his opponent - he started biting the shoulder of his opponent. The referee saw the incident involving the two men, but did not show a red card to B. Johnson for unsportsmanlike behavior - both players were punished with yellow cards. Nevertheless, this episode did not go unnoticed by the FA commission and the "Derby County" defender now faces a minimum of a four-match suspension and a monetary fine. For example, Luis Suarez, who had been involved in similar bites both in the national team and the club while defending the "Liverpool" colors, was punished with a ten-match suspension for biting Branislav Ivanovic.
