Leeds United missed out on a seventh win in eight Championship matches as they were held to a 1-1 draw by managerless Rotherham United.
Crysencio Summerville cut in from the left to curl in an early opener for Leeds but, in a dominant first-half display, they missed further chances to extend their lead.
Against the run of play in first-half stoppage time, Hakeem Odoffin found the bottom corner from 12 yards to equalise for third-from-bottom Rotherham in their first game since Matt Taylor was sacked on 13 November.
Leeds thought they had won it in the 90th minute, but Jaidon Anthony’s close-range finish was ruled out for offside against fellow substitute Patrick Bamford.
Third-placed Leeds are seven points behind Leicester and Ipswich, who are both on 39 points and return to Championship action on Saturday.
