PFA say behaviour of Liverpool's Suarez "unacceptable"

PFA chief Gordon Taylor has criticised Liverpool striker Luis Suarez over his biting incident against Chelsea.

Suarez appeared to bite the arm of Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic during the sides' Premier League clash at Anfield on Sunday, before going on to score a 97th-minute equaliser in the 2-2 draw.

"It was not good to see to say the least. It was unacceptable," Taylor told Sky Sports News.

"His reputation for controversy continues to increase when he can be such a good player, one of the world's best, so it is a real dilemma now.

"It's uncalled for, it's not good, it's depressing, it's such a shame for a player who's a really good footballer but this is not the first time that such things have happened.

"I know it's a really difficult one for Liverpool and the FA are going to have to deal with it.

"There's physical contact, emotions run high but no matter what players these days have to be considered as role models for youngsters."
