Key automatic promotion rivals Leicester City and Ipswich Town both trailed in their Monday fixtures against Norwich City and Southampton respectively but the Foxes and Tractor Boys fought back to claim victories, Ipswich with a 97th-minute twist as Jeremy Sarmiento bagged a very late winner.
Leeds consequently needed to beat Hull just to move back second and eventually bagged a 3-1 triumph amid incredible late scenes at Elland Road. Graham Smyth, the YEP’s chief football writer, hands out the scores from another pulsating night inside LS11.
