Mourinho criticises Dier after chasing insulting fan into stands following Spurs' FA Cup exit

Jose Mourinho has criticised Eric Dier after the Tottenham player confronted a fan because of a family insult following Spurs' FA Cup fifth round exit to Norwich.

Dier was filmed during the argument after climbing into the stands and chasing the supporter who made the alleged remarks following Spurs' penalty shoot-out loss to the Canaries on Wednesday night.

When video emerged of the incident, it intially wasn't clear why Dier was aggravated, but Mourinho explained why his player was emotional during a post-match interview.

The Portuguese coach stated that he did not support the England international's actions.
