A Leeds fan was arrested and handed a lifetime ban by the club after walking into the technical area during the English Premier League match against Newcastle on Saturday and shoving Newcastle manager Eddie Howe in the chest before being escorted away by security. Howe wasn't hurt in the incident which took place in the third minute of stoppage time in an emotionally charged 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. Howe called it a "What if?" moment and called for greater protection for players and managers.
