Well, what a day it's been in the English Football League!

Derby won at Preston, Sunderland lost at home to Sheffield Wednesday and all the top three sides earned valuable wins in League Two.

Then Wigan were beaten at play-off chasing Portsmouth in League One.

And our marathon Easter Monday has been rounded off with a dramatic, late equaliser for Premier League hopefuls Cardiff at Sheffield United.

Do join us again tomorrow evening for more EFL drama. We'll see you then. Cheers.

Most crucially though, Cardiff now have an eight-point lead over third-placed Fulham, and a 10-point gap to fourth-placed Villa.

The Bluebirds still must face three of the other sides in the top six: Wolves (h), Aston Villa (a) and Derby (a).

But nevertheless, Neil Warnock's men are in a great position in the table, with seven matches to play.

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock tells Sky Sports: "We were a lot better in the second half. That's what it's all about, hanging in there.

"They [Sheffield United] got a few tired legs. I thought they played really well. But give our lads credit, never giving in.

"When you equalise late on in a game like that, it's a fantastic feeling.

"It sets us up great for the small matter of Wolves on Friday. We look forward to that."

So, Sheffield United were within moments of moving in to the top six, but they stay ninth. The Blades are within a point of sixth-placed Middlesbrough, and level on points with Bristol City and Millwall.

At the top, second-placed Cardiff go five points behind Wolves, although they miss the chance to narrow the gap to just three points.

All the other sides in the top four - Wolves, Fulham and Villa - are in action on Tuesday, when they'll have the chance to gain ground on Cardiff, but the four of them have all played the same number of games as it stands (39).

Cardiff's late goalscorer Anthony Pilkington adds: "We always thought we could get one. We can always score goals.

"It's a massive game on Friday now."

Next up for Cardiff? Leaders Wolves at home on Friday night. Don't miss it.

Cardiff's Sean Morrison tells Sky Sports: "The pitch wasn't great tonight. We knew we had to battle. It wasn't pretty and their goal was a bit sloppy from us, but in the second half I thought we were the better team."

I suspect Blades fans will disagree with the suggestion that Cardiff had the better of the second half...

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock's smile is as wide as can be.

The Sheffield United players have their heads in their hands. They can't believe they didn't win this one.

The whistle goes and Cardiff have somehow, from nothing, earned a late, late point.

Their eight-game winning streak ends, but they're now 13 league games unbeaten.

Cardiff have a corner... We have had the four extra minutes.

Is there time for another twist? Cardiff would move eight points clear of third-placed Fulham, as it stands.

There will be four minutes of added time.

Cardiff need something dramatic, or their 12-game unbeaten league run is ending tonight.

Martin Hatfield: Cardiff don't deserve anything from this game.

As they enter the final minute of the 90, John Fleck fires over the bar from range for the hosts, who are closing in an a massive win that would put them sixth in the table.

The hosts help to wind down the clock a bit more as Lee Evans goes off and Ryan Leonard comes on.

But in truth, Cardiff haven't exactly been mounting the pressure for an equaliser. All the chances in the past 10 minutes have been Sheffield United's.

Sheffield United could have scored several goals tonight! Will they be made to pay for their missed chances?

The latest sees Leon Clarke sliding in to the area but poking straight at the keeper from close range.

Not long after Sean Morrison heads the Blades corner clear... Lee Evans goes down, right on the edge of the Cardiff penalty area, as he appears to be clipped by Bruna Manga.

Nothing given.

John Lundstram's shot is deflected away for another Blades corner...

Leon Clarke and Clayton Donaldson combine well up front for the Blades, but Cardiff get the ball away for a United corner.
