#OTD in 2003, El Hadji Diouf caused outrage after spitting at a Celtic fan during a UEFA Cup game.

Fined £60,000 by Liverpool and banned for two matches by UEFA, Diouf would end his career on Merseyside in 2005 having accrued more yellow cards (19) than he scored goals (6). pic.twitter.com/2vbe5lq0bQ

The following Sunday Liverpool won 3:2 against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. All the goals came in the second half. Mauricio Tarrico gave Spurs the lead just after half time. Michael Owen equalised and strikes from Emile Heskey and Steven Gerrard gave Liverpool a two goal advantage. Terry Sheringham pulled one back for the home side late in the match. The result left Liverpool in 6th position in the Premier League on 49 points after 30 matches.
