Luis Suarez’s reputation lies in tatters again after the Liverpool striker appeared to bite Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay’s bad-tempered victory in Natal.
With just 12 minutes to go and the scores locked at 0-0 here, Suarez and Chiellini fell to the floor in the penalty area. Chiellini seemed absolutely incensed and replays soon showed why as Suarez was shown apparently attempting to dig his teeth in his opponents’ shoulder.
Uruguay went on to win the game 1-0 with a goal soon after from captain Diego Godin. They progress to the second phase at Italy’s expense.
Naijalog recalls, that Suarez was hit with a ten-game suspension for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic in April 2012.
He was also issued a seven-game ban for a chomp on PSV’s Otman Bakkal while playing for Ajax in November 2010
The Liverpool striker faces a lengthly ban after clash with Italian defender Chiellini, if found guilty.
