Eric Dier Confronts Fans After Norwich Defeat_Erik Ogar

Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier’s confrontation with supporters after Wednesday’s defeat to Norwich in the FA Cup is being investigated by the FA.
Dier was filmed jogging along the touchline at full-time before leaping over the advertising hoardings and then clambering over seats, before appearing to target one person, who he was unable to reach as other supporters became involved.
Dier was filmed and pictured on social media climbing over rows of seats before being involved in a confrontation.
Spurs manager Jose Mourinho suggested Dier had reacted to insults towards a family member at full-time and defended his reaction, although said it was not professional.
“I cannot run away from the question and I think Eric Dier did something that we professionals cannot but, in these circumstances, something that every one of us would do…I am with the player and understand the player.”
Reports on social media suggested Dier had chosen to enter the crowd after Gedson Fernandes – who missed his penalty in the shootout – was racially abused.
However, Mourinho was unsure if that was true, saying: “I cannot say, I do not know. I just know the reaction of Eric was based on that his brother didn’t like what was happening there.”
Asked to confirm if Dier’s brother was in the stands, Mourinho replied: “Yes.”
