Tottenham defender Dier has online penalty exchange with Doherty

Tottenham defender Eric Dier is enjoying social media banter with former team-mate Matt Doherty.

Dier and Doherty have been trading one liners online regarding Doherty nearly giving away a penalty for Wolves against Aston Villa at the weekend.

The right-back, who had an unsuccessful stint at Spurs, almost gave away a spot kick against Willa.

The referee did take a long look at the incident, but decided it was not a penalty.

There was also a VAR check, although pundits have since stated that it could have been a spot kick.

Penalty," stated Dier, kicking off the echange, with Doherty writing experience," before Dier described it as laziness."
