00:00Well, what a big day it's been here at Turf Morn elsewhere in the championship as well.

00:06Burnley now level on points with Leeds United, so stay third but level with Leeds in second.

00:12Start with Burnley first, deserve a 1-0 victory. Bristol City should have been 3 or 4 really, really good performance from Burnley.

00:20Given the circumstances, given the pressure, they never looked like they were under too much pressure.

00:26Bit of a nervy end, but even then it would have been a travesty. As I said, Burnley could have had it wrapped up after 20-30 minutes.

00:34The second half came out again excellent, created so many openings, just couldn't find that killer touch.

00:40But a really sort of commanding, mature display.

00:43And then elsewhere, Leeds looked like they had won it later on, 87th minute, went 2-1 up against Swansea.

00:48But then Swansea equalised deep into stoppage time.

00:51Sheffield United, who were top, but still to play for, still the title there.

00:56But it's now Leeds looking like they might be the team that has a wobble towards the end of the season.

01:02So, yeah, big, big day here in the fight for promotion, but still seven to go.

01:08Plenty of twist of turn to come so far.
