A NEWCASTLE fan wrestled with a CHILD over Dan Burn's shirt after a 3-0 win over Leicester.

Goals from Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron, and Joelinton sent Toon up to a lofty second in the Premier League after a dominant performance.

After the final whistle, several Newcastle players walked over to the traveling fans to show appreciation for their support.

And several players then threw their shirts into the crowd - sparkling bedlam.

The child desperately clung onto the jersey as a fan on the left tried to clutch it from his grasp.

Footage showed the pair embroiled in a tug-of-war for the coveted prize.

Another fan got involved and appeared to be trying to help the young lad wrestle his shirt back.

Stewards finally intervened to resolve the dispute with several social media accounts reporting that the child got the shirt in the end.

Meanwhile, Newcastle fans around those involved seemed oblivious as they celebrated another impressive win.

The Magpies also have a seven-point cushion over fifth-placed Manchester United.

They are also in the Carabao Cup quarter-final after beating Bournemouth 1-0 last week.............
