Prime Minister David Cameron said today that Luis Suarez's bite on Branislav Ivanovic set an 'appalling example' to his seven-year-old son - but the Liverpool striker's punishment is a matter for the FA.

Cameron told BBC Radio Five Live this morning that his intervention in the matter was merely that of a concerned father.

The Prime Minister said : 'I made my own views clear just as a dad watching the game.

'I've got a seven-year-old son who just loves watching football and when players behave like this it just sets the most appalling example to young people in our country.'
