Henri Lansbury came off the bench to earn Aston Villa a 1-1 draw from a hard-fought Sky Bet Championship clash with Leeds at Elland Road.
The midfielder had not featured since mid-September due to injury and he made up for lost time by firing in his first goal for the midlands club 19 minutes from time.
Leeds had taken an early lead through Pontus Jansson's header but they could not match their first-half intensity and had to settle for a point.
United had earned a much-needed victory over Middlesbrough last time out on home soil and they made a confident start, Spanish playmaker Samuel Saiz seeing an effort blocked on the edge of the area.
