Newcastle boss Eddie Howe was shoved by a pitch invader during today's 2-2 draw at Leeds

The invader raced into Newcastle's technical area before Leeds and Toon security intervened.

The fan was eventually escorted down the players' race at Elland Road'.

The incident came in injury-time of the 2-2 draw.

Speaking after the game, Howe called for improvements to security during games: "I'm not sure if he pushed me.

"He confronted me, he said something I can't repeat and then he was led away. Moments like that do make you think. Safety is paramount and we need to be mindful."
