Meslier mistakes cost Leeds as Burnley closes in
Leeds United missed the chance to go back to the top of the EFL Championship as it was held to a 2-2 draw by Swansea City.
Coupled with Burnley's 1-0 victory over Bristol City, Leeds's hopes of gaining automatic promotion suffered a blow, with Daniel Farke's men now looking over their shoulders.
Illan Meslier's mistakes cost Leeds at Elland Road, where it had taken a 34-second lead, with Brenden Aaronson finishing off a goalmouth scramble.
Josh Tymon saw a 14th-minute penalty saved by Meslier before Ben Cabango hit the woodwork, however, as Swansea threatened a comeback.
That equaliser duly arrived after the hour, when Meslier's fumble allowed Harry Darling to tuck in from a corner. It marked the goalkeeper's third error leading to a goal this term.
Substitute Wilfried Gnonto seemed to have won it for Leeds four minutes from time, but Swansea hit back again in the 96th minute when Meslier allowed Zan Vipotnik's strike from a tight angle to slip under him.
Leeds is two points behind leader Sheffield United, which beat Coventry City on Saturday (AEDT), and level with Burnley.
