Leeds United ended a very busy week in their Championship promotion quest with a Yorkshire derby at Sheffield Wednesday.

Third-placed Leeds knww that a victory would send them back into the division’s automatic promotion spots and a point above Ipswich Town who then visit Cardiff City on Saturday lunchtime. But Danny Rohl’s second-bottom Owls had won five of their last six and even a point would have taken them out of the Championship’s drop zone. A win for the hosts would have sent them up seven places to 16th.

Here is a recap of the night’s events and post-match reaction.

2: On Bamford, Leeds take the free kick short

3: Rutter slices wide from a tight angle from close range. Nice move from the free kick. Gray, Gnonto and Bamford all involved.

5: Firpo coming inside causes problems twice, Ampadu clears a dangerous cross.

8: Gray played into the box, a foot was dangled out but he kept going, ball trickles behind for a goal kick. All a bit frantic to start with, ball zipping from one end to the other, bouncing about on the hard pitch.

10: Stewards being called in to attend to some sort of issue. Paramedics.

Summerville defending

12: Clears a dangerous cross behind for a corner

12: Corner comes to nothing, Rutter with the sole attempt so far
