Leeds draw sees Sheffield Utd promoted

Sheffield United will play in the Premier League for the first time since 2007 next season after Leeds United drew with Aston Villa in extraordinary circumstances.

Leeds needed to win to have any chance of preventing the Blades from joining Norwich in the top flight, but were held to a crazy 1-1 draw at Elland Road.

Mateusz Klich put the home side in front as Villa players signalled for the ball to be put out of play so that the injured Jonathan Kodjia could receive treatment.

The goal sparked a huge melee which involved both sets of players and led to Anwar El Ghazi being sent off for a clash with Patrick Bamford.

When play eventually resumed following a five-minute delay, Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa told his players to allow Villa to score an equaliser.

However, Leeds defender Pontus Jansson appreared not to get the message and tried to tackle Albert Adomah after he was allowed to slot the ball into an empty net.
