A British TV commentator Jon Champion, who labelled Luis Suarez a cheat following his controversial goal in Liverpool's FA Cup win at Mansfield on Sunday, has been pulled up for doing so


The ball hit Suarez's wrist before he put Liverpool 2-0 up (they won 2-1).

On viewing the replay, Champion had said: "That, I'm afraid, is the work of a cheat." Later, ESPN in a statement said: "Comments during the Mansfield v Liverpool tie caused offence where none was intended and we have spoken to our commentator about this."u00a0
