Leeds' outside Championship play-off hopes were all but ended by a breathless 3-3 draw with Norwich.
Having seemed top-six certainties from November to the start of April, a run of one win in six left Garry Monk's men knowing a win here was a must.
However, when they were 3-0 down after 44 minutes thanks to a Steven Naismith goal and a Nelson Oliveira double, that edict had gone badly wrong.
But a Chris Wood goal gave them hope, a Kyle Bartley one belief and a Pablo Hernandez one a leveller, before the clock and ultimately their woeful start caught up with them.
