Fan confronts Newcastle manager Eddie Howe during Leeds clash
A fan ran onto the pitch and into the Newcastle United technical area during the Premier League clash with Leeds United.
On Saturday afternoon, Leeds were looking to survive the drop by clinching an almighty victory against Newcastle.
Luke Ayling gave Sam Allardyce’s side the lead after just seven minutes but were eventually pegged back by a Callum Wilson penalty.
In the second half, Wilson netted from 12 yards once again as Newcastle went ahead.
Rasmus Kristensen scored to make it 2-2 with 79 minutes on the clock to rescue a vital point for Leeds in their bid for survival.
However, as the match edged towards its conclusion, a bizarre moment happened on the touchline.
A fan managed to walk all the way from the stands to the Newcastle dugout as he approached Magpies boss Eddie Howe.
The fan then muttered some words towards Howe before shoving him on the shoulder.
Security then burst on to the scene to lead the man away, with Howe’s assistant Jason Tindall among those chasing the man away from the technical area.
Fans were quick to react on social media.
