Dier will possibly face a lengthy ban due to his course of action but his coach Mourinho defended the player by saying: "When someone insults you and your family is there and your family gets involved with somebody who is insulting you, in this case, a younger brother, I think Eric did what we professionals cannot do but, I repeat, probably every one of us would do."
