The FA will reportedly launch an investigation into Tottenham Hotspur's Eric Dier, following his confrontation with a fan in the FA Cup game against Norwich City.

The FA have reportedly launched an investigation into Tottenham Hotspur star Eric Dier's confrontation with a fan on Wednesday night, with the Englishman set to undergo a lengthy ban as punishment.

After the North London side's FA Cup clash with Norwich City, which resulted in the Canaries going through on penalties, the 26-year-old entered the stands as he feared for the safety of his younger brother.

According to The Mirror, the FA have now asked Dier's version of the events - and the Spurs player is understood to be philosophical about any potential ban or charge.

A source close to the defender has revealed that Dier went into the crowd to help his brother Patrick, 22, after witnessing him in confrontation with a fellow supporter.

The fan quickly left the scene, before Dier was removed by security.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has admitted that he doesn't want the English international to be punished.
