Eddie Howe responds after angry fan enters Newcastle technical area during Leeds draw

An angry home supporter – who Leeds later said had been arrested and banned for life by the club – climbed out of the stands and entered the technical area to confront Howe before being quickly whisked away.

“It was just such a strange thing because you’re concentrating on the game, it’s not something you expect to happen. He said confronted me, said something I can’t repeat and then he’s led away,” Howe said.
