Hamburg’s Toni Leistner emulates Eric Dier by climbing into stands to scrap with Dynamo Dresden fan
Hamburg defender Toni Leistner must've been inspired by the latest episodes of All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur.
Just like Eric Dier in March, Leistner climbed into the stands to confront an opposing fan on Monday night.
Supporters are back in Germany, which means players are no longer free from routine abuse every matchday.
And following Hamburg's embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Dynamo Dresden in the DFB Cup, visiting defender Leistner decided he doesn't have to put up with it anymore.
Having been born and raised in Dresden, one can only assume something personal was said to Leistner after the defeat.
The 30-year-old actually broke away from an interview to climb into the stands - and then went a step further than Dier after Spurs' defeat to Norwich.
Leistner shoved the Dynamo Dresden fan to the ground, before more supporters were forced to intervene and push the defender away.
The German then left the stand without any further violence, although we doubt that will be the end of the matter.
For the record, Dier was fined £40,000 and banned for four games by the FA.
