Evra revels in Luis Suarez's World Cup elimination by liking social media post

Former Manchester United star Patrice Evra liked an image on social media of Luis Suarez in tears after Uruguay's dramatic World Cup elimination - continuing their long-running feud stretching back to 2011.

The South American side exited the tournament despite a 2-0 win over Ghana on Friday, thanks to an injury time goal from South Korea that saw them beat Portugal and progress through to the knockout stage at the expense of Uruguay.

It was a defeat that left Luis Suarez inconsolable at the end of the game, in what was surely the 35-year-old's final match at a World Cup Finals.

There was however, no sympathy thrown his away from his one time Premier League rival Patrice Evra. The former Manchester United defender was caught on social media liking an image of Suarez feeling the pain of Uruguay's World Cup exit.

Suarez and Evra's story goes back to their high profile clash in 2011, when the French defender accused Suarez of making a racist comment towards him during a clash between Liverpool and Manchester United.

The FA later found the Uruguayan guilty of the offence, banning the striker for eight games, and fining him £40,000, despite Suarez pleading his innocence.

When the teams met in the following season, Suarez then refused to shake the hand of Evra during the pre-game line-ups at Old Trafford. However, it was Evra who had the final say, as United won 2-1 and the Frenchman could seen celebrating the victory right in front of the Reds front man.

During the saga, Liverpool players chose to back Suarez by wearing t-shirts with the forward's face on it in the build up to a game against Wigan.

Uruguay and Suarez have suffered a frustrating World Cup campaign in Group H. They opened the group with a goalless draw with South Korea, before going down 2-0 to Portugal to see the Portuguese book their place in the next round.

They went into the final group game knowing they had to beat Ghana to face any chance of making the last-16, and despite two goals from Giorgian de Arrascaeta sealing the win, it wasn't enough to see Uruguay through.

They finished finished level on points with South Korea, but left the competition having scored two less goals than their Group H foes.
