Liverpool goalkeeper Rafaela Borggrafe has received a six-game ban for using discriminatory language towards a team-mate, it was revealed on Friday. Reds manager Gareth Taylor explained Borggrafe accepted the sanction, following an investigation by the Football Association that began in September, and has served five of the six games already. The incident, believed to involve Borggrafe making an allegedly racist remark, took place during Liverpool's pre-season training camp. The 25-year-old German joined Liverpool from SC Freiburg in the summer and has made three first-team appearances.

He was handed a sentence of nine months in prison suspended for two years at a hearing at Nottingham Crown Court, as a judge told him he had suffered a spectacular fall from grace. Forensic analysis of Coote's computer showed a two-minute and 11-second-long video had been viewed that showed a 15-year-old boy in a school uniform undressing until he was completely naked, before performing sexual acts on himself, prosecutors said on Thursday.

Daniel Farke's side suffered a narrow 2-1 loss to Tottenham at Elland Road, with summer signing Mohammed Kudus scoring a long-range winner to seal all three points for Thomas Frank's side. Tottenham took the lead through Mathys Tel in the first half, before Noah Okafor's strike brought Leeds United back on level terms. However, ten minutes after the restart, Kudus announced himself to Spurs fans in style by netting his debut goal for the club from distance, a strike that ultimately decided the game.

Also in the women's game, it was revealed yesterday that Liverpool goalkeeper Rafaela Borggrafe is being investigated by the FA for an alleged discriminatory comment overheard by some staff and teammates.
