Eric Dier reveals Mourinho 'wasn't happy' as he ran to the bathroom during Chelsea game

Tottenham advanced into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday as Jose Mourinho's side registered a penalty shootout victory over Chelsea. Spurs defender Eric Der played a key role in the win, with the England international a rock in the Tottenham defence, making life difficult for the Blues attack led by new signing Timo Werner. However, Tottenham's victory was far from smooth for both Jose Mourinho and Dier, with the 26-year-old having rushed to the bathroom midway through the clash.

Tottenham defender Eric Dier had to rush to the bathroom midway during the second half of the Carabao Cup clash against Chelsea.

Chelsea almost made their rivals pay by creating a goal-scoring opportunity, only for Callum Hudson-Odoi to smash it off target.

A furious Jose Mourinho marched into the dressing room to get the England international back on the pitch. Mourinho and Dier returned to the pitch soon and Tottenham promptly secured an equaliser through Erik Lamela. Eric Dier further made up for his mistake by drilling home his penalty in the ensuing shootout as Spurs secured passage into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
