Eric Dier has been handed a four-game ban and a £40,000 fine by the Football Association for his actions after Spurs' FA Cup defeat to Norwich at the beginning of March.
The England international was caught on camera clambering over the advertising hoardings before entering the stands and confronting a supporter at the end of the match, sparking chaos and unsavoury scenes.
Dier was charged of misconduct in April, and on Wednesday morning the FA confirmed that the 26-year-old would receive a four-game ban, meaning Tottenham will be without their star for all but one match of this season.
A statement released by the FA confirmed that Dier's actions were perceived as 'threatening', and the midfielder has been warned over his future behaviour.
"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 04 March 2020 were improper but denied that they were also threatening.
"An independent Regulatory Commission subsequently found Eric Dier’s actions to be threatening."
