Portugal Colonial - Leeds and Burnley held to draws as Sunderland blunt Blades

Pascal Struijk looked to have won the game for the hosts with an 88th-minute penalty but Danny Batth's last-gasp equaliser rescued a point for play-off contenders Rovers.

"It was definitely not our best game today," said Leeds manager Daniel Farke.

"I think the lads looked a bit tired," added Farke, who also gave "credit" to Rovers.

With the top two at the end of the season guaranteed automatic promotion, second-placed Burnley missed the chance to gain ground in a goalless draw at home to Stoke.

The on-loan Zenit St Petersburg striker's 35th-minute goal proved decisive at the Stadium of Light after Luke O'Nien's own goal had cancelled out Eliezer Mayenda's opener for the hosts.
