Pat Bamford and Callum Wilson, who had just witnessed an early penalty from Luke Ayling, watched as Leeds’ Rasmus Kristensen scored a deflected goal that ensured a point for Sam Allardyce’s side. A fan went to the Newcastle dugout to confront Eddie Howe, shaken but unharmed by the disgraceful incident.

Brighton managed an outstanding performance against Arsenal, without their leading scorer in the second half.

Julio Enciso’s controversial opener, where Jakub Kiwior appeared to take a stamp to the ankle, preceded Deniz Undav’s lob and Pervis Estupinan’s rebound as Roberto De Zerbi’s team consigned their freak 5-1 mauling at Everton to history.
