Bite No 2
 |
| 2013 playing for English Premier League club Liverpool |
Three years later in 2013, Suarez - now playing for Liverpool - was slapped with a 10-match ban in the English Premier League for biting the arm of Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic. It was one of the most severe punishments handed out by the league for an on-field offense and a disciplinary panel said a regular three-match suspension for violent conduct was "clearly insufficient."
Again, the referee missed the incident as Suarez bit Ivanovic on the upper arm during the 2-2 draw. However, it was seen by millions of viewers on TV replays and British Prime Minister David Cameron waded into the controversy by saying the Uruguayan had set an "appalling" example for young fans.
Suarez eventually released a statement saying "I acknowledge that my actions were not acceptable on the football pitch."
