It is revealed how the FA decided on an eight-match suspension for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez over alleged racist comments made towards Patrice Evra.

The Football Association's reasoning behind Liverpool striker Luis Suarez's eight-match ban has been revealed.

The Uruguayan was given the suspension and a £40,000 fine for making alleged racist comments towards Manchester United defender Patrice Evra during a game in October.

Suarez was given two matches for using insulting language towards an opponent, while the other six games were for his reference to Evra's skin colour, according the The Mirror.

The 24-year-old has two weeks to appeal the decision.
