The father of an 11-year-old Newcastle fan has defended the woman who was filmed trying to grab Dan Burn's shirt out of his son's hands.

After the Magpies defeated Leicester 3-0 on Boxing Day at the King Power Stadium, the defender, 30, threw his shirt into the crowd for Nathan Junior Surrey.

In footage shared on social media, a woman appears to pull the shirt away from the young Newcastle supporter, known as NJ, before another fan intervenes.

Loyal supporter NJ, who has owned a season ticket for two years, was at his second away game with his father after receiving tickets for Christmas from his uncle.
