A fan has been charged with assault by police after storming the Newcastle technical area and shoving Eddie Howe during Saturday’s dramatic draw with Leeds.
The supporter was pictured invading the Magpies’ bench during the 2-2 stalemate. He managed to reach Howe and shared some words with the ex-Bournemouth boss. He then grabbed his arm and shoved him before being dragged away by stewards.
The Newcastle backroom staff expressed their disgust at his presence in the immediate aftermath of the incident but fortunately nothing serious could occur. However, the fan has been dealt some notable consequences after being charged by the authorities.
