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.
