The abuse becomes too much and, at half time, Beckham gestures towards one fan, seemingly beckoning him down from the stands. The midfielder later played down the incident. "There was someone who was saying things that weren’t very nice, stepping over that line. At half-time I looked over and said 'You need to calm down'" Photograph: PA Wire/PA
