Norwich City 1 Leeds United 1: Star pair save Whites after new injury and penalty woe
Leeds United took on Norwich City in a midweek Championship clash at Carrow Road.
A star pair combined to save Leeds United from defeat in Tuesday night's Championship clash at Norwich City after a fresh injury blow to another key man.
Three days after Ethan Ampadu suffered lateral ligament damage in victory against Coventry City, Leeds lost the services of another centre midfielder at Carrow Road as Ilia Gruev was forced off with a knee injury.
Gruev, who was replaced by Joe Rothwell, was forced off just five minutes after Norwich had taken the lead through a Josh Sargent penalty awarded for Joe Rodon's foul on the Canaries attacker.
But Willy Gnonto had been a threat for Leeds from the outset and the Italian winger set up new star Largie Ramazani to draw Leeds level on the hour mark with a neat through ball from which Ramazani fired home a clinical finish.
