Liverpool forward Luis Suarez
could face retrospective action
from the Football Association
after seemingly biting Chelsea
defender Branislav Ivanovic. The incident occurred in the
second half of Liverpool's 2-2
draw with Chelsea at Anfield on
Sunday, as Suarez battled for
the ball with Ivanovic in the
Blues' penalty area. Ivanovic was seen appealing to
referee Kevin Friend after his
tussle with Suarez, and
television replays appeared to
show the forward sinking his
teeth into the defender's arm. No action was taken against
the Uruguay international, who
was already on a yellow card
after giving away a penalty for
handball, which Eden Hazard
duly tucked home. The FA will now wait for
referee Friend's report, and
should the official not mention
it, Suarez could face
retrospective action. The striker had the final say on
the outcome of the game as he
scored in the dying seconds to
clinch a draw for his side and
dent Chelsea's Champions
League qualification hopes. In 2010, Suarez, during his time
at Ajax, was given a seven-
match ban for biting PSV
Eindhoven midfielder Otman
Bakkal's shoulder. In 2006, Tottenham striker
Jermain Defoe faced no further
action from the Football
Association after appearing to
bite West Ham's Javier
Mascherano.
