The visitors had a second penalty awarded when Firpo handled the ball in the area, as Wilson beat Robles for a second time despite the Spaniard's antics. However, Rasmus Kristensen's deflected strike ensured both teams came away with a point in a crucial game at both ends of the table that could be remembered as the time that the Elland Road technical area was invaded by a fan.
talkSPORT commentator Sam Matterface insisted that the offender should be "banned for life" for pushing Howe. “Just as the free-kick was smashed against the wall to go out for a corner, a supporter has just got onto the field of play and then run to the Newcastle dugout and started pushing Eddie Howe," he described.
“What on earth was that all about?! He must be banned for life. There is no way that guy should come back into a football match, I’m afraid. Eddie Howe has done absolutely nothing, for a start, but also he should feel safe in his technical area, that is disgusting behaviour.”
