Tammy Abraham scored his first Premier League goal since rejoining Aston Villa, rescuing a 1-1 draw against Leeds United at Villa Park in the dying moments of the game.
Leeds appeared set to snatch a crucial three points under manager Daniel Farke, who had hoped for a win to strengthen their survival bid.
Anton Stach, returning from a hip injury, had put the visitors ahead with a stunning free-kick, his third of the season, giving Leeds a deserved lead.
Villa, struggling at home with three losses in their last four fixtures, were under constant pressure.
Leeds dominated the early stages, creating several chances, including a close effort from Dominic Calvert-Lewin that was expertly blocked by Emiliano Martinez.
Ollie Watkins’ apparent equaliser was ruled out for offside, adding to Unai Emery’s frustration.
Despite Leeds’ first-half control, Villa gradually grew into the game. The introduction of Jadon Sancho sparked their attack, culminating in a moment of drama deep into stoppage time.
From a corner, Abraham poked the ball home with his thigh, curling it just above Calvert-Lewin on the line to secure a late point for the hosts.
The draw denied Leeds their first away win since defeating Wolves 3-1 in September but extended their unbeaten league run to three games.
Meanwhile, Villa kept their hopes of a Champions League spot alive, salvaging a valuable point in a tense finale.
