Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland has been slapped on the pitch by a Leeds United fan during tonight's Championship clash at Hillsborough.
The supporter came onto the pitch after Michael Tonge scored an equaliser for the visitors.
The fan made his way back into the away end before he could be apprehended by police.
Kirkland then received medical treatment before play was resumed.
