Sky Bet Championship leaders Leeds struck twice late on to come from behind to beat Blackburn 3-2 and extend their advantage at the top of the table.
The home side went in front after 33 minutes through an own goal by Rovers’ defender Derrick Williams.
Blackburn equalised at the start of the second half from Charlie Mulgrew’s penalty.
Mulgrew looked to have won it with a free-kick in he 89th minute, but Kemar Roofe, who scored a dramatic late winner at Aston Villa, equalised in stoppage time.
Roofe struck again in the fourth minute of added time to send Elland Road into delirium.
There was also late, late drama at Carrow Road where second-placed Norwich fought back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 against Nottingham Forest and extend their unbeaten run to 12 matches.
Matty Cash put Forest ahead against the run of play in first-half stoppage time and Jack Robinson made it 2-0 on 64 minutes.
When Cash added another 10 minutes later, there seemed no way back for Daniel Farke’s side.
Mario Vrancic, though, reduced the deficit on 77 minutes, before substitute Onel Hernandez struck twice in some seven minutes of stoppage time to secure a remarkable draw.
Leeds are three points clear of the Canaries, who are three ahead of West Brom after their 2-0 home win over Wigan.
