A Leeds United fan has been charged with assault after running into the technical area and pushing Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe at Elland Road on Saturday.

Howe was shoved in the closing stages of Saturday's 2-2 draw between the clubs, following which Leeds issued a lifetime ban on the supporter.

After getting into the face of the Newcastle boss, the fan was escorted away by security.

"Police have charged a man with assault and entering the field of play following an incident at Elland Road football stadium during the Leeds United versus Newcastle United football match yesterday," West Yorkshire Police said on Twitter on Sunday.
