Shannon Ruth saluted his squad’s resilience as he was forced to swallow the disappointment of seeing a late equaliser deny his team a deserved victory.

The fourth of five consecutive away matches looked to have ended on a high note when Adam Brett’s 74th-minute goal put Albion in front.

But Leeds bundled home a corner five minutes from time as the visitors posted their third draw in their last four outings.

Earlier, Younis Ibrahim had fired Ruth’s side in front before the interval. The hosts equalised before the late drama saw both teams settle for a point.

“We’ll take a point on the road,” was the head coach’s reaction but he was also pleased with the doggedness shown by a squad that had more of a youthful look to it.
