The incident was missed by the referee, however Ivanovic had gestured to the officials during the match that he had been bitten and TV cameras captured the incident. The reasons for Suarez' actions are unclear, however it appeared to have been an emotional response born out of frustration, especially as Suarez had just conceded a penalty. Suarez stayed on the pitch and went on to net an equaliser for Liverpool in the seventh minute of injury time. Suarez found himself at the centre of a media storm comparable to that regarding the Patrice Evra incidents. There were calls for lengthy bans from the FA to be imposed, and a number of people even called for Liverpool to axe their star striker. Part of the response was attributable to the fact that this was the second time in his career that Suarez had bitten an opponent, having also bitten PSV midfielder Otman Bakkal whilst playing for Ajax. In fact, Suarez was serving his seven match ban for the incident when Liverpool signed him.
