Suarez banned for 10 games for Ivanovic bite

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has been suspended for 10 games for violent conduct after biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.

The Uruguayan was captured by TV cameras biting into the defender’s arm in the second half of the two sides’ 2-2 draw at Anfield, before later going on to seal the injury-time equaliser.

Suarez accepted the charge on Tuesday, but rejected the FA’s notion that a three-game ban should be deemed insufficient and has until midday on April 26 to appeal the decision.
