Newcastle’s manager has called for safety surrounding coaching staff and players to be stepped up after he was shoved in the chest by the fan towards the end of the 2-2 draw with Leeds. A lifetime ban for the supporter has been announced by Leeds.
'I’m OK,' said Howe,'but moments like that do make you think about the safety of the staff and players in the Premier League and Football League. To me, it’s paramount. We need to be mindful of it. Security is so important.'
