Mourinho not expecting Spurs to punish Dier after fan altercation

Jose Mourinho has expressed his belief that Tottenham will decide against punishing Eric Dier after his altercation with a fan, insisting he is "with the player".

Dier looks likely to face action from the FA for attempting to confront a supporter who was believed to have been involved in a row with his brother following Spurs FA Cup defeat at the hands of Norwich on Tuesday.

The England international climbed into the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium stands after the penalty shootout loss and clambered over rows of seats to get at the man in question before being restrained by stewards.
