Preston North End forward Milutin Osmajic was accused of biting Blackburn defender Owen Beck as both sides ended a feisty Lancashire derby at Deepdale with 10 men. North End's Sam Greenwood was sent off three minutes before half-time for a crude challenge on Lewis Baker.

The English FA are investigating an alleged biting incident during Sunday's EFL Championship clash between Preston and Blackburn Rovers, a source has told ESPN.

A major talking point post-match was PNE striker Milutin Osmajic’s alleged bite on Beck, prior to referee Matt Donohue showing the Rovers man the red card. The FA are reportedly investigating the incident, which Blackburn boss John Eustace described as ‘very serious’. Gallagher viewed it as a stain on what was an encouraging Preston display.
