Eric Dier left in disbelief as microphones pick up furious conversation with referee

Eric Dier cut a frustrated figure after Tottenham Hotspur's 1-1 draw with Sporting Lisbon as the defender confronted the referee following his decision to rule out Harry Kane's late strike.

England international Kane thought he had secured Spurs' passage into the knockout stages of the Champions League with a cool finish from Emerson Royal's knockdown. But after a lengthy VAR check, Danny Makkelie awarded a free-kick to Sporting after Kane was found to have been in an offside position.

It meant Spurs had to settle for a point, as Rodrigo Bentancur's second-half strike cancelled out Marcus Edwards' opener with Antonio Conte's side needing a point from their trip to Marseille to qualify for the last-16 of the competition. In a rare scenario, all four teams in Tottenham's group can still go through, as just two points separate Spurs in top spot and Marseille at the bottom of the table.
