Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has given his take after appearing to be shoved by a fan during their 2-2 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road. The coach was stood in his dugout in stoppage time when he was confronted by an angry man, who had left his seat and entered the technical area.
The fan appeared to push Howe in the chest, before being captured by stewards and escorted down the touchline to the corner of the ground. The moment came shortly after Junior Firpo was shown a red card for a foul on Anthony Gordon on the edge of the Whites area.
Recounting the incident in his post-match press conference, Howe said: “Do you know what, I actually can't remember whether he pushed me or not. I’ve got no idea.
