Ex-Liverpool man Joe Allen sent off for sparking 30-man brawl in 90th minute of six-goal thriller

Former Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen was sent off for sparking a 30-man brawl in Swansea City's win over Preston North End on Wednesday night.

Swansea's Allen, who was substituted earlier in the second half, managed to get into a scuffle with Preston's manager Ryan Lowe after the away side failed to put the ball out of play for an injury. As many as 30 individuals rushed to the dug out to get involved.

Play-off chasers Preston were beaten 3-2 in Wales with the ex-Liverpool man scoring the second goal for the Swans at the Swansea.com Stadium in the Championship.
