Championship: Leeds United 1 Cardiff City 1

Leeds United fought back from a goal down to snatch a 1-1 draw at home against Cardiff City in the Championship on Sunday.

The clash was a crucial one for the hosts at Elland Road, as they could have climbed into third spot with the full three points.

However, the Welsh outfit had other ideas early, making the most of some abject defending when Joe Mason got in behind to fire the visitors ahead on 17 minutes.

Cardiff led at the break, but a rejuvenated Leeds side attacked with purpose in the second half.

They were rewarded with a goal in the 73d minute when Robert Snodgrass tapped in from close range after Tom Lees headed a Patrick Kisnorbo free-kick back into the danger area.

The draw sees Leeds remain in seventh spot on 22 points, while Cardiff stay one point adrift in ninth.
