Luis Suarez was already a reviled figure by many soccer fans outside Uruguay and Liverpool, but the controversial striker took his villainous reputation to new heights on Sunday after he appeared to bite Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic during Sunday’s English Premier League showdown.

Suarez’s inexplicable act marred an otherwise excellent match. he set up Liverpool’s first goal with a beautiful pass to Daniel Sturridge, then delivered a stoppage-time equalizer  in the match’s dying moments.

Those moments were overshadowed by his acts in the 69th minute, when he reached down and appeared to bite Ivanovic on the arm.

It isn’t the first time Suarez has bitten an opponent. While with Ajax, Suarez was hit with a seven-match suspension for this incident when he bit PSV’s Otman Bakkal.

Here is Suarez’s bite on Ivanovic:
