Newcastle manager Eddie Howe was pushed by a pitch invader during the Premier League clash at Leeds.
With the match level at 2-2 in second-half stoppage time, Howe was confronted by a supporter who evaded security to reach the dugout.
The pitch invader pushed Howe, who reacted angrily, before stewards intervened and ejected him from the ground.
Magpies assistant Jason Tindall was among those to chase the man away from the sidelines.
Reacting on talkSPORT, commentator Sam Matterface said: “Oh! There’s a supporter who has got into the dugout and he’s started to push and pull with Eddie Howe down in front of us!
“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!
“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.”
