In a Premier League encounter against Chelsea, the striker took a huge bite at Blues defender Branislav Ivanovic. The referee initially missed the incident and the Uruguayan was not penalised for his actions despite Ivanovic showing the bite marks to the referee and his assistant. To rub salt into the wound, Suarez then went on to score Liverpool’s equaliser just minutes later.
Suarez did face consequences after the match, though, and was served a 10 match suspension by the FA. The Uruguayan, for once, seemed genuinely apologetic and took to Twitter to make a heartfelt apology.
I'm sad for what happened this afternoon, I apologize Ivanovic and all football world for my inexcusable behaviour. I'm so sorry about it!!
