An unexpected mistake by Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier resulted in a dramatic late equalizer for Championship leaders Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
In the sixth minute of injury time, Meslier failed to secure a seemingly harmless shot from substitute Alan Browne, allowing it to trickle into the net.
This blunder denied Leeds a win, as they had been poised to equal Sunderland's points at the top, having taken the lead with goals from Joel Piroe and Junior Firpo after initially trailing.
