The Football Association, FA, in England has banned Tottenham Hotspurs Midfielder, Eric Dier, for four matches and fined him £40,000 for climbing over seats to confront a fan after a match in March.
The incident happened after Spurs were knocked out of the FA Cup at home by Norwich.
The 26-year-old was also warned over his future conduct by the FA. The ban ends his season, with Tottenham having five games remaining, starting at Bournemouth on Wednesday.
Dier’s youngest brother, Patrick, was embroiled in an argument with the unnamed fan. The England International entered the stands to offer him protection, with the brother sitting close to the fan in a section of home seating.

The FA further said Dier admitted his actions were improper, but denied they were threatening.
