LONDON -- Tottenham's Eric Dier has accused referee Mike Jones of being too slow to penalise Ben Foster's time-wasting in Saturday's 1-1 draw with West Brom, claiming Jones told him he did not want to punish the goalkeeper.
The struggling Baggies defended deep and doggedly after taking a surprise fourth-minute lead through Salomon Rondon, and they held on for a valuable point after Harry Kane's equaliser 15 minutes from time.
Foster was booed throughout the match by the Wembley crowd for dallying over goal-kicks, often appearing to hold the ball for longer than the six seconds permitted, but he was not booked by Jones until the 82nd-minute.
