Title race tightens as leaders drop points at home

A late equaliser leaves the top of the table separated by two points with a third of the season gone.

The league leaders were pegged back deep into stoppage time, a result that keeps three clubs within two points of top spot.

The manager pointed to fixture congestion afterwards, noting that his side have played twice as many midweek games as their nearest rivals.

Attention now turns to next weekend, when the top two meet in a fixture that could reshape the table before the winter break.
