Championship leaders Norwich missed the opportunity to go within touching distance of promotion after being held to a 2-2 draw at Stoke on Easter Monday.
The Canaries would’ve sealed their return to the Premier League if they won and Leeds failed to beat Brentford later this evening – and twice they went in front at the Bet365 Stadium.
