Former Liverpool star Luis Suarez has been handed a six match ban after spitting at a rival coach.

The striker's infamous temper boiled over after his team's 3-0 defeat by Seattle Sounders in the final of the Leagues Cup.

Footage showed Suarez confronting a Sounders staff member near the middle of the pitch as a brawl broke out after the final whistle.

The 38-year-old got in the coach's face before appearing to spit at him, seemingly hitting him on the face as Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari tried to intervene.

Suarez now faces the prospect of being sidelined for years after being hit with a hefty six-game Leagues Cup ban.
