In the first half, a woman surprised everyone on the stands as she made her way onto the field of play before then getting caught and escorted away by stewards.
There’s a female pitch invader. Stewards deal with her while play goes on. She’s intent on staying put. It’s quite the tussle. Eventually they clear her off the pitch and over the hoarding.

Fansite ‘MOT Leeds News‘ said via their blog: “What an idiot.
“How long have Leeds fans had to wait to be able to start packing out Elland Road again?
“We missed the promotion and Championship title win and we missed almost all of our debut season back in the Premier League with just a few lucky fans getting to see the win over West Brom on the final day.
“Leeds fans packed Elland Road for the draw with Everton on Saturday and did so again against Crewe on Tuesday in the Carabao Cup.
“It’s the first time in around a year and a half since a full Elland Road witnessed Leeds winning a match.
“But one idiot is now likely to have gotten herself banned for a long time.
“She’s bound to be regretting her actions now but that’s one person who won’t be having to apply for tickets anymore, increasing the chances of the rest of us getting into Elland Road this season.
“Leeds fans are brilliant – the best in the country.
“But let’s avoid stupid things like this. Luckily it didn’t have an impact on the match but if people start to get a bit too daring at football matches, it could lead to the club getting in trouble.”
MATCH REPORT:
Leeds avoided a late scare by putting three late goals past Crewe to put the hosts into the third round of the Carabao Cup at a sold-out Elland Road.
You could forgive some Whites fans for being nervous going into this game, considering they’ve watched their club knocked out in round two in the past three seasons.
And they looked set to be frustrated as it took until the 79th minute for Leeds to make a breakthrough when Kalvin Phillips flicked home a near-post corner.
Jack Harrison then found the net twice, one being a lovely dinked finish, and the other slotting past the keeper in added time.
Bielsa’s men dominated the game – putting in 28 shots – though lacked a clinical edge until the dying stages.
Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa: “It took a long time to score. We missed a lot of chances in a very contested game. Even though [Crewe] created little, they disputed everything.
“Adam Forshaw is very well prepared. He’s sacrificed a lot in the last two months. If he keeps healthy and progressively acquires the competition’s rhythm he has all the virtues to shine.”
Crewe Alexandra manager David Artell on BBC Radio Stoke: “I thought the lads were terrific and they performed admirably. The fans were magnificent too – they should be the first thing we talk about. You could hear the 1,500 of them among the 37,000 here tonight.
“The first goal was always going to pop the cork, and if there is one disappointment from tonight it is the manner that the goal came.
“Marcelo Bielsa came up to us at the end and said the way we set up was magnificent.”
