With a terrific performance on the pitch and turmoil off it, Martin Odegaard and colleagues won 2-0.
In a video sent to Twitter by the account Away Day Sleepers, an Arsenal supporter could be seen perched on the Milburn Stand.
The person, who was being wrestled to the ground, appeared to have just been discovered by the nearby Toon fans.
The Arsenal supporter stood up as the officials got close by and appeared to be screamed at to “get out” by furious home supporters.
A few moments later, with young children present, the supporter was seen trying to start a heated argument with Toon fans before being hauled down once more from behind.
The entire incident, a child can be heard shouting “dad” nonstop.
Newcastle United FC Fans, the account that posted the footage on Twitter first, asserted that the Arsenal supporter had “thrown bottles around” while upsetting the neighbourhood crowd.
They Tweeted:
The bairns who witnessed this, an Arsenal supporter in the nufc family stand, have been left traumatised.”
The Tweet further continued:
The Arsenal fan was a disgrace and throwing bottles around.”
They then added: “He was winding home fans up and celebrating. One young boy has said he’s not going back.”
Online, several supporters questioned the delay in the arrival of the stewards.
In a different video that has been circulating on social media, Newcastle supporters rather than stewards are seen escorting the spectator to the concourse.
