Russell Martin blames Preston boss for 'carnage' with Joe Allen at end of Swansea City match

Russell Martin says Joe Allen's late red card during a mass brawl won't overshadow his performance as Swansea City secured a 4-2 win over Preston North End in a pulsating Championship contest.

Allen netted his first goal for the club in 11 years in what was a scintillating first-half performance for the Swans who led 3-0 at half-time - with Joel Piroe and Harry Darling also getting on the score sheet.

However, Preston set-up a nervy finish in the second-half as Tom Cannon and Troy Parrott fired beyond Andy Fisher before a touchline brawl erupted between players and coaches from both sides minutes before Piroe netted in injury-time to seal victory for the hosts.
