Eric Dier had a mid-match emergency on Tuesday.
In desperate need of a bathroom break, the Tottenham defender ran off the field around the 70th minute of their match against Chelsea, in the Carabao Cup. Already trailing 0-1 and playing a man down momentarily, Spurs nearly gave up a second goal while Dier was off the pitch. Mourinho soon returned to his dugout and Dier quickly made it back onto the pitch, helping Tottenham find an equalizer which made it 1-1 to force a penalty shootout.
Spurs went on to win 5-4 on penalties, with Dier scoring their first spot kick.
"Jose wasn't happy but there was nothing I could do about it, nature was calling," explained Dier. "I heard there was a chance (for Chelsea) while I was off the pitch but thankfully they didn't score"

"He had to go, he had no chance". "Maybe it is a normal thing when you are completely dehydrated which is the case, I had to put pressure on him to get back but he is a great example for everybody." - Jose. He dashed on Eric exit during the match. This win gave Dier something to have fun after a hectic few days in which he made headlines after the ball hit his arm against Newcastle leading to the controversial penalty equalizer that denied Spurs all three points on Sunday.
