Yesterday's 1-1 draw between Leeds United and Aston Villa will probably go down as one of the more bizarre games of the Championship season.

The drama began when Villa player Jonathan Kodjia sustained an injury in the 73rd minute. His teammates' pleas for the ball to be kicked out were ignored by Leeds, who played on, resulting in a goal from Mateusz Klich.

After this controversy, and the ensuing brawl, Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa instructed his players to let Villa equalise, which they did.

The result ensured Sheffield United's promotion to the Premier League, as Leeds missed out. However, they have gained a place in the play-offs.

Tony Cascarino joined us to discuss what went on, and also look back at the weekend's Premier League games.
