Eric Dier hit with a fine of £40,000 and four-game ban for entering the stand in March.

Tottenham will not be appealing the ban- Mourinho.

Eric Dier has been hit with a four-match ban by the FA for entering the stands to confront a supporter after Tottenham’s FA Cup defeat to Norwich in March.

The decision will leave Spurs boss Jose Mourinho incensed after he repeatedly argued against a sanction for the defender.

Dier will miss Thursday’s visit to Bournemouth and Sunday’s north London derby as well as the matches against Newcastle and Leicester, before potentially returning at Crystal Palace on the final day of the season.

He was also fined £40,000 and warned about his future conduct.
The four-person independent regulatory commission heard that Dier entered the stands after Spurs’ fifth-round loss on penalties to confront a spectator who hurled expletives at him before becoming embroiled in a row with his brother, Patrick.

Dier admitted improper conduct but denied his actions were threatening. The commission, which included two former professional players, subsequently found his actions to be “clearly threatening” and rejected his position that his sole intention in entering the stands was to protect his brother.

Tottenham manager, Jose Mourinho has since affirm the management will not be appealing the ban and fine.
