Blackburn manager John Eustace said his team’s player Owen Beck “has a big bite mark down his neck”, adding: “It’s a shame the referee didn’t see that.”
The final minutes of the match, which ended in a goalless draw, witnessed tense events, as Beck, on loan from Liverpool, was sent off after directing a “kick” at Preston player Dwayne Holmes.
Beck then explained to the referee that he had been bitten by Milutin Osmajic, who received a yellow card.
Indeed, the TV replay showed Osmajic biting Beck.
The incident brought to mind Liverpool striker Luis Suarez’s bite on Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in a Premier League match in 2013.
After the “famous bite”, Suarez was suspended for 10 matches.
