Tottenham's Eric Dier has been given a four-match ban and fined £40,000 by the English FA. This came after climbing into the stands to confront a fan following Tottenham's FA Cup exit to Norwich.
The England international has been sanctioned for his misconduct which happened on March 4.
Dier, whose team had just lost a penalty shootout, against Norwich saw his brother was being abused by a fan and raced to his aid. There was no physical exchange and the matter was not pursued by the Metropolitan Police after a brief investigation.
It said in a statement: "Eric Dier has been suspended for four matches with immediate effect, fined £40,000 and warned as to his future conduct following a breach of FA Rule E3.
"The Tottenham Hotspur FC player admitted that his actions at the conclusion of a fixture against Norwich City FC in the FA Cup on March 4, 2020 were improper but denied that they were also threatening.
"An independent Regulatory Commission subsequently found Eric Dier's actions to be threatening."
