Ipswich moved to the top of the Championship table thanks to a 1-0 victory over Blackburn, while Leeds were held by Watford.
Conor Chaplin’s 13th goal of the season was enough for Ipswich to take all three points at Ewood Park, leaving them one point ahead of previous leaders Leeds.
The latter were in action later on Friday evening and twice had to come from behind to secure a 2-2 draw at Vicarage Road.
Vakoun Bayo smashed in the opener for Watford in the 31st minute before a stunning finish from Crysencio Summerville six minutes later levelled matters.
There was still time for Watford to go in ahead at half-time thanks to another excellent goal from Emmanuel Dennis, but Leeds’ second-half pressure paid off when Mateo Joseph secured a point five minutes from time.
Long-time leaders Leicester are now out of the top two after Anis Mehmeti’s brilliant strike put another dent in their stuttering bid for automatic promotion.
