Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier has found himself on the receiving end of some light-hearted ribbing by Kieran Trippier.

On Thursday, the former Spurs ace – currently at Newcastle United – held a Q&A on his Instagram story.

It looks as though several of Trippier’s current and former teammates were also asking him questions.

One contribution asked the Magpies defender who taught him to take free kicks.

And Trippier replied by tagging Dier, posting a picture of himself with the Tottenham man, and the caption “not you”.

Both Trippier and Dier are among a select few players to have scored a free-kick for England at a major tournament.

Trippier netted against Croatia in the 2018 World Cup, while Dier struck against Russia at Euro 2016.

The Newcastle man is one of the finest free-kick takers in the Premier League.

He has already scored two goals for the Magpies from set-pieces this season.

However, Trippier is sadly on the sidelines right now.

He was forced off with a foot injury in United’s home victory over Aston Villa on February 13.

Eddie Howe has since confirmed the full-back has undergone surgery for the fracture.

The Newcastle boss his hope Trippier could return this season, but admitted it was a ‘significant injury’.

The Magpies are next in action on Saturday when they head to Brentford.

Meanwhile, Antonio Conte’s Tottenham head to Leeds United in Saturday’s early kickoff.
