Burnley had to dig deep once again and come from behind for the second time in their last three games to pick up the victory.

Elsewhere, both Leeds United and Sheffield United also recorded victories.

The Blades were up first, ending a run of three straight defeats by overcoming struggling Cardiff City 2-0 at Bramall Lane.

That sets up a monumental clash with Burnley at Turf Moor on Easter Monday – where Burnley know a victory will seal their promotion back to the Premier League.

Leeds also returned to the top of the table after a hard-earned 1-0 victory against Oxford United in the late kick-off. They can also be promoted on Monday if results work out in their favour.
