With more than half of the Championship league season gone, Leeds United and Norwich City lead the automatic promotion race - in no small part thanks to their habit of scoring late goals.

Leeds are three points clear of Norwich in first place, while the Canaries hold the same advantage over third-placed West Brom.

While both teams have played good football this season, their never-say-die attitudes and ability to score crucial late winners and equalisers have proved just as essential.
