The travelling supporters met owner Mike Ashley's first appearance at a Newcastle game since May 2017 by launching sustained chanting against his stewardship of the Tyneside club.

The England Under-21 star appeared unhurt by the incident and played on without issue or, it seemed, complaint in the match which ended 0-0.

Officers investigating disorder at the game have issued a picture of a man they would like to identify.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Metropolitan Police's central public order unit on 0208 246 0050 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
