Top scorer Marcus Stewart (pictured) grabbed the equaliser with a scything low drive past Ian Walker before Steve Caldwell rose to head in majestically from a corner in the second half to seal a 2-1 win against Leicester City. The Leed v Ipswich game dragged on agonisingly minutes after the final whistle at the Stadium of Light where almost 35,000 fans waited for the news of a draw in that game, which assured Sunderland of a promotion place.
