FA should look at Defoe bite: UK sports minister

British sports minister Richard Caborn has urged the Football Association to look at the video evidence of Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe's bite on West Ham midfielder Javier Mascherano.

The England forward appeared to bite the arm of the Argentinian after being fouled in yesterday's match, with Steve Bennett booking both players once a melee that ensued following Defoe's retaliation to the challenge had been calmed.
