		</div><p>Eric Dier has been charged by the Football Association after climbing into the stand to confront a Totteham supporter after their FA Cup exit to Norwich and could face a hefty ban.</p>
<p>The England international saw his brother in an argument with a fan in the south stand of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and climbed up several rows of seats to intervene.</p>
<p>The incident, which was investigated by the Metropolitan Police, happened after Spurs had lost a fifth-round penalty shoot-out to the Canaries on March 4.</p>

<p>A statement from the FA read: <em>“Eric Dier has been charged with misconduct for a breach of FA Rule E3.</em></p>
<p><em>“It is alleged that the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder’s actions at the conclusion of the Emirates FA Cup fixture against Norwich City FC on Wednesday 4 March 2020 were improper and/or threatening.</em></p>
<p><em>“Eric Dier has until Friday 8 May 2020 to provide a response.”</em></p>
<p>The FA has warned that the case does not come with a set sanction, meaning that if Dier accepts the charge or is found guilty, his punishment will be decided by an independent panel, which could see him land a hefty suspension.</p>
<p>Boss Jose Mourinho was highly supportive of his player after the incident and said he hoped Dier would not be subject to a club sanction.</p>
<p>Mourinho said: <em>“I think Eric Dier did something that we professionals cannot do but in these circumstances every one of us would do.</em></p>
<p><em>“Because when somebody insults you, and your family is there, and you get involved with the person that is insulting you, in this case a younger brother, I think Eric did what we professionals cannot do.</em></p>
<p><em>“But I repeat, probably everyone of us would do. I repeat, we professionals we cannot do, but I repeat I am with the player and I understand the player.”</em></p>
<p>Dier’s team-mate Dele Alli is still waiting for the outcome of his charge.</p>
<p>Alli was charged by the FA on February 26 for misconduct after he posted an ill-advised video on Snapchat about coronavirus a fortnight earlier and he is understood to have launched an appeal.</p>
<p>Alli could also face a suspension once the season can resume if his charge his upheld. Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva received a one-match ban after a similar offence in a disciplinary procedure which took six weeks from charge to punishment.</p>
