A man has been charged with assault and entering the field of play after appearing to push Newcastle Utd manager Eddie Howe during the Leeds United football match at Elland Road yesterday (Sat).
The man managed to make his way onto the pitch before heading towards the Newcastle dugout where he confronted Howe before being dragged away by stewards shortly before the end of the game which Leeds drew 2-2.
Afterwards, Howe said the incident should act as a wake-up call for those responsible for the safety of players and staff. Leeds United have said the fan has been banned for life by the club.
