'Eric Dier take a bow... that is one of the worst own goals I have ever seen': Football fans go wild on social media after Spurs defender's comedy error against Newcastle - as one insists it will be seen on 'many a bloopers programme' in years to come

Eric Dier may have been jointly awarded Man of the Match alongside team-mate Sergio Reguilon but it certainly was not for his quality of football.

After 89 minutes, Tottenham looked to have the win secured with a comfortable 3-1 lead and Newcastle down to 10 men but the hosts managed to reduce the deficit thanks to Dier.

The England international was guilty of a horrendous own goal. As Jacob Murphy’s free-kick from the right dipped awkwardly in front of him, he ducked towards the ball, missed an attempted header and kneed the ball emphatically into the far corner.
