Tottenham Hotspur’s Eric Dier was involved in a confrontation with a fan after his side’s penalty shootout defeat to Norwich City in the FA Cup on Wednesday.

Dier, who scored his spot-kick in the shootout after the match ended 1-1, appeared to be upset at something said after the game and climbed into the crowd. Video footage showed Dier climbing over seats and confronting a home fan before he was restrained by security guards and other fans.

It is believed his brother was in the section where the incident happened and Dier could be heard saying “he’s my brother” in video footage posted on social media.
