Leeds United stars celebrate their vital Championship win at the weekend.
Current leaders Norwich City will now be fretting with their rivals just four points behind after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Wigan Athletic.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United could only draw too – held by strugglers Millwall, who eased their relegation fears but only a touch.
They are still in a battle with Bolton Wanderers, Rotherham, Reading, Birmingham, and Wigan to avoid the last demotion spots.
Some clubs are in a better position than others to achieve their respective goals as they have a perceived easier set of fixtures.
