Dier, who was booked, said: “It’s a derby. Football is all about emotion and I don’t understand how I could get a yellow card in that situation.” A Met Police spokesman said there were seven arrests at the game for public order offences, one relating to an object thrown on to the pitch. It is understood two others involved the lighting of smoke canisters. Both teams face an FA charge over the brawl.
