Spurs eyewitness: Dier lost plot - really sad to see

One Tottenham fan has described seeing Eric Dier storming the stands at the end of their FA Cup defeat to Norwich City.

Shortly after Gedson Fernandes' missed spot-kick sealed Spurs' fate Dier jumped over a barrier and raced up the stands, with footage showing a supporter getting involved in a spat with his brother, Patrick

The England international was seen angrily shouting towards someone in the crowd while as many as 10 members of the public held him back.

Spurs fan Neil spoke to talkSPORT after witnessing it first-hand.

He said: "There were two guys who were fighting after the match, they were in the crowd pushing and trying to fight, and, I don't know, but it looked like it could have been his brother – that's what Mourinho said.

"But then Eric Dier lost the plot, and the next thing you know he is bounding up the stairs. There must have been about 20 fans trying to hold him back, he was like the Incredible Hulk.

"It was really sad to see actually; he lost the plot, lost it, and I feel sorry for him. He actually had a good game, as well."
