Japan's Ao Tanaka and Dutch forward Joel Piroe scored late goals as Leeds came from behind to win 3-1 at promotion rivals Sheffield United on Monday, leaving them five points clear at the top of English football's second tier.

This win lifted Leeds seven points clear of third-placed Burnley, with 12 league games remaining, but defeat for the Blades left them a mere two points ahead of the Clarets.
