Pascal Struijk’s stoppage-time equaliser rescued a huge point for Leeds United as they drew 1-1 with Brighton in their final home of the season. It ensures that, regardless of results elsewhere, the Whites will have a chance of securing survival on the last day of the campaign at Brentford.
After Danny Welbeck opened the scoring in the 21st minute, it looked as though it would be one of those afternoons at Elland Road. However, a late barrage of the Brighton goal brought its reward and brought a vital point with it.
While Leeds moved out of relegation zone with the draw, they won’t be getting carried as they might end up back in the bottom three before the final day if Burnley get a result against Aston Villa on Thursday evening. By the same stretch, victory for Steven Gerrard’s side in that game at Villa Park would mean Jesse Marsch’s side would only need to match Burnley’s result on the final day.
