Leeds United have issued a lifetime ban to the supporter who evaded security and shoved Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe at Elland Road. The Magpies boss was confronted by an angry fan in the closing stages of the 2-2 draw in ugly scenes.
Newcastle were waiting to take a dangerous free-kick after Junior Firpo tripped Anthony Gordon and received a red card. Before the set piece was taken, the fan leaped the advertising boards and made his way to confront Howe on the touchline.
Questions have been asked as to how the supporter was able to make his way to the Newcastle technical area. There was also concern given it was Newcastle staff who intercepted the invader, rather than nearby stadium staff.
