Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier is involved in an altercation with a supporter in the stands after his side were eliminated from the FA Cup by Norwich City.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier needed to be restrained by stewards after jumping into the stands to confront a supporter after his side's exit from the FA Cup.

Despite holding a lead heading into the closing stages against Norwich City, Spurs eventually lost out to the Canaries in a penalty shootout.

In the minutes after the match in North London, Dier appeared to react to negative comments from the stands, with a video on social media showing the England international jumping over advertising hoardings before climbing towards a group of fans.

The player was later shown being held back by two stewards, allegedly after a confrontation with a supporter who had verbally abused him.

Manager Jose Mourinho has suggested that comments were also made about Dier's younger brother, although the Portuguese said that the 26-year-old 'did not act professionally'.
