Brawl erupts between Leeds and Coventry players at full-time with Whites goalscorer Crysencio Summerville physically restrained by teammates in heated scenes after the 1-1 draw

A melee broke out between players after Leeds and Coventry ended in a 1-1 draw with several players restrained following the full-time whistle.

Daniel Farke's side welcomed last season's play-off finalists to Elland Road on Saturday as they looked to return to winning ways after suffering defeat at Sunderland in midweek.

After a relatively subdued opening 45 minutes, the hosts took the initiative after the interval with Crysencio Summerville curling his effort beyond Sky Blues goalkeeper Ben Collins to give the hosts the lead.

Unable to capitalise on their momentum Leeds were pegged back shortly after the opener as Bobby Thomas headed home from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto's cross to equalise on 66 minutes.
