Champion gets ESPN chiding for Suarez ‘cheat’ remarks

ESPN television commentator Jon Champion has been spoken to by the broadcaster after describing Luis Suarez as “a cheat”.

Champion made his views clear after Suarez used his right wrist to score Liverpool’s second goal in the 2-1 FA Cup win at non-league Mansfield on Sunday.

As ESPN showed a replay of a clear handball from Suarez, Champion said: “That, I’m afraid, is the work of a cheat.”
