John Egan's last-ditch goal salvaged a point for second-placed Sheffield United at a spirited Queens Park Rangers.
Egan's mistake had put Rangers ahead as he gave away the ball before deflecting Ilias Chair's shot past his own goalkeeper, as the Moroccan impressed for the hosts.
Chair had another good chance soon after, while Billy Sharp twice came close for the Blades either side of half-time.
The visitors began to increase the pressure as the second half went on and they were rewarded for their industry when Egan blasted home from close-range in the sixth minute of stoppage time after Enda Stevens' ball in from the byeline.
Relive Monday's EFL action The point means Sheffield United are nine points clear of third-placed Blackburn Rovers as they aim to return to the Premier League.
Rangers - who had been set to jump five places up to 10th in the table before the equaliser - move up to 12th, three points from the play-off places.

Yeah agree, the team will feel they deserved the three points and should be sitting 10 th place and not 12th. Shame we couldn’t have put that performance in against Luton.

Gutted but very pleased with a point that not many of us expected.
Thought all the players put in a good shift and played well. Kakay for me did very well and Tyler Roberts running of the ball dragged players wide (I thought he should have been passed too a lot more and some his runs were really intelligent and could have resulted in more shots on goal)
Apparently there was a sickness bug in the squad this week so some of them must have been feeling rough.
