Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was yesterday charged by the Football Association with racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.

The FA’s announcement comes after they conducted a month-long investigation into the claims that Suarez had racially abused Evra during the Premier League match on October 15 which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Suarez categorically denied the allegations while Man. United have stated they are fully behind French international Evra.

Evra alleged Suarez repeatedly hurled racist insults at him during the match.

Meanwhile, the FA are still to announce their decision on whether John Terry should also face charges of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.
