Leeds United 1-1 Coventry City highlights: Summerville strike cancelled out in bad-tempered draw
Daniel Farke's side could only watch as Leicester City and Ipswich Town re-opened the gap between Leeds and the automatic promotion spots to ten points over the course of this week. The Whites' recent run remains extremely positive despite defeat at the Stadium of Light, with nine wins from their last 12 Championship fixtures.
However, record-breaking starts to the season by the Foxes and Kieran McKenna's Ipswich means Leeds have had to acquaint themselves with third spot for much of the campaign.

Leeds United vs Coventry City LIVE
FT: Leeds 1-1 Coventry
Leeds were in control of that for huge parts but Coventry hung in there and earn a good point. Two dropped from Whites' perspective. Summerville engaged in some afters following the whistle.
What a chance
90+5' Oh what a miss. Dan James played in beautifully by a one-two with Gelhardt but the Welshman can't get it on target. Skids agonisingly wide.
Wave after wave
90+3' Summerville down the left dinks a lovely ball into the box which Rodon flies into and meets but can't direct on target. Whacks his head in the process, carrying on.
Handbags
90+2' It's manic. Leeds attacking, Bamford and one of the Coventry defenders getting in a tussle off the ball, which continues after Summerville's shot goes for a corner. Referee giving them a talking to. Georginio playing peacemaker again.
No card
89' Leeds calling for red as Palmer goes in on Gnonto near the corner. Willy, grinning as he goes, pats Palmer on the cheek a couple of times. Free-kick.
Yellows
88' Eccles booked for a heavy challenge on Gnonto before Kasey Palmer tries to fight everyone. Georginio is in to drag Summerville away. Palmer booked.
