Newcastle United security stopped one fan trying to confront club owner Mike Ashley during victory over Watford.
The Daily Mail says the supporter was making his way up the steps next to Ashley when he verbally abused the owner before being removed during Saturday's 1-0 win over Watford.
Ashley has security personnel stood behind his seat at St James' Park given the strength of feeling against him amid continued protests and a planned boycott.
A club source said: "Something was directed towards Mike Ashley in the directors' box and the individual was moved away.
"Mike had a really enjoyable day and was delighted that Rafa, Jamaal (Lascelles) and the players secured their first win of the season."
