Speaking to the reporters Howe said “For me, I’ve never experienced that before. So I was looking in the opposite direction and he ran on and shouted something at me that I won’t repeat.”

He further said, “It was over in a flash but it was the last thing you expect at that moment and it’s alarming for football really because we can’t have that. The safety of everyone, coaching staff, players, is of paramount importance.”

After the match, the club made an inquiry and imposed a lifetime ban on the supporter. The club reported, “Leeds United confirms that following an incident at our Premier League match against Newcastle United today, an arrest has been made and a lifetime ban has also been issued.”
