Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says his confrontation with a Leeds fan in the 2-2 draw at Elland Road should act as a wake-up call for those responsible for the safety of players and staff. An angry home supporter climbed out of the stands and entered the technical area to confront Howe before being quickly whisked away. Howe says he is fine after the incident, which came in injury-time of a pulsating game, but that the safety of those involved should not be “violated”. “I actually can’t remember whether he pushed me or not, I’ve got no idea, it’s such a strange thing because you’re concentrating on the game and you don’t expect it to happen,” Howe said. “He confronted me, said something that I can’t repeat and was then led away. “I’m OK, moments like that do make you think about the safety of staff and players is paramount for me at any matches in the Premier League and Football League. We need to be mindful, security is so important. “I don’t know if I had time to be fearful because it was over in a flash but it certainly makes you think ‘what if’ and I think it is moments like this that should make people look and analyse how we can improve safety for staff and players. “No one should have to face that, playing a sport we love and trying to entertain the country, no one should feel like their own personal safety is violated. It is something for us to reflect on.” Howe was more disappointed that his side could not win at Elland Road as they looked to strengthen their grip on Champions League qualification. Luke Ayling put Leeds ahead early on but a pair of Callum Wilson penalties gave Newcastle the lead only for Rasmus Kristensen’s deflected effort to deny them three points. Howe added: “It was a strange game, lots happened, a lot of different feelings from it. At 1-0 down and a penalty down you are fearing the worst but we managed to get ourselves in front and are ultimately disappointed not to win.” Leeds stay in the bottom three, but it was a positive afternoon for new boss Sam Allardyce on his first match in charge at Elland Road, though he needed to calm down after the enthralling nature of the match, where Patrick Bamford missed a first-half penalty and Junior Firpo was sent off at the death. “I needed two valium when we came off to calm me down,” he joked. “I enjoyed it actually, I did. I was nervous before the game because we were playing at home and I wanted to give the fans something. “But what the lads did for me and the rest of the staff, the fans and themselves gave me some hope going forward because they tried their very best and I can’t ask for any more than that. “Two-two in the end is satisfying. I hope it goes to the wire, when we play Tottenham I hope there is somehting in it for us. “We have to keep our fingers crossed that the others don’t win. It’s not in our hands so all we can to do is what we did today and do it better.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Mark Robins relishing play-off opportunity as Coventry ‘rise together’ Man Utd boss Marc Skinner fires FA Cup final warning to favourites Chelsea Eurovision has disrupted Man City’s schedule, Pep Guardiola says

A spectator walked into the technical area during the Premier League match between Leeds and Newcastle on Saturday and shoved Newcastle manager Eddie Howe in the chest before being escorted away by security. Howe didn't appear to get hurt in the incident, which took place in the third minute of stoppage time in the 2-2 draw at Elland Road. The spectator initially grabbed Howe by his left arm, then jabbed at him and pushed him high in the chest. Howe looked shocked and appeared to shout something at the intruder. Newcastle had been in front for a period after Callum Wilson netted two penalties, following Luke Ayling’s early opener for the hosts. Leeds did fight back to claim a point through Rasmus Kristensen’s late deflected effort, while Patrick Bamford missed a spot-kick of his own - all this prior to the supporter approaching Howe. In February, a 35-year-old man was banned from attending soccer games for four years after pleading guilty to assaulting Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale at the end of a match against Tottenham in January. The man climbed over the advertising hoarding and kicked Ramsdale in the back shortly after the final whistle of Arsenal's 2-0 win. Ramsdale had gone behind one of the goals to pick up his water bottle. There were a slew of incidents involving fans getting onto the field during the final weeks of last season in English soccer.
