For Championship clubs, football can often be a game of very narrow margins.

That makes refereeing mistakes all the more significant, especially for teams on a poor run. Leeds United were winless in four league games going into their meeting with Sheffield Wednesday, and after going 2-0 down they thought they'd restored some hope when Liam Cooper turned home a free-kick. But the referee ruled it out...because Wednesday were in the middle of making a substitution.

Fans of the away side were incensed.

There was some of the usual wisecracking.
