West Bromwich Albion ended leaders Leeds United's five-game winning Championship run as they came from behind to earn a point.

Junior Firpo headed Leeds into an early lead, but fellow defender Darnell Furlong nodded in a leveller six minutes before the break.

Leeds are now six points clear at the top going into the afternoon games, which include second-placed Sheffield United's trip to Queens Park Rangers.

Albion drop a place to sixth, as a result of Frank Lampard's Coventry City winning at Oxford.

But a draw was a fair outcome - the Baggies' 16th in 35 league games this season, more than any other Championship team - and their second of the campaign against Leeds.

Leeds had an early let-off when, from Isaac Price's pass, John Swift scuffed his low right-foot shot just past the post. And, just two minutes later, the hosts took full advantage.

Wales winger Daniel James cut in down the left to deliver a wickedly dipping cross from his right foot - and Firpo rose at the near post to head home his third goal of the season, and second of the week, having also netted in Monday's late win over the Blades which was his first at Elland Road in just over two years.

But Albion levelled with a header of their own.

Swift's deep free-kick from the right was swung beyond the far post - and Furlong went aerial for his first goal since 4 May, looping an angled header back over the head of stranded keeper Illan Meslier and inside the right upright.

Mikey Johnston engineered another opening for Furlong on 70 minutes but this time the free-roving Albion full-back powered an acrobatic header just over from close range.

Tom Fellows was stopped by Joe Rodon's challenge when he went clear with a late chance for the Albion, while at the other end Leeds substitute Mateo Joseph struck the bar following a driving run in the box and James also went close.

But neither side could find a winner as the two sides drew for the second time this season following a desperate goalless draw at The Hawthorns in August.

Leeds are now without a game until Sunday week (9 March, 12:00 GMT) when they face a lunchtime trip to Portsmouth, followed by their next home game against Millwall (12 March, 19:45 GMT).

Albion are back in action next Saturday against Queens Park Rangers (8 March, 15:00 GMT), before a midweek trip to Burnley (11 March, 19:45 GMT).

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke told BBC Radio Leeds:

"Sometimes you have to settle for a draw and we have had to this time against a really good side. West Brom got a foot back into it and you could see it coming.

"Tony Mowbray's sides always go for it. They are always brave and have a lot of quality. We had situations to bury the game but the danger was lurking.

"You want to win your home games but sometimes if you cannot win you have to make sure you don't lose.

"Maybe we were trying to enjoy ourselves a little too much in the sunshine. And, after losing your momentum, sometimes it's hard to win it back."

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Mowbray told BBC Radio WM:

"We know how good a side they are, but we came to be competitive. We believe we can win wherever we go.

"West Bromwich Albion are a big club. We possibly gave them a little too much respect early on, but we grew into the game.

"We could have scored before they did, but we got our rewards in the end."
