At the other end of the table, Sunderland twice came from behind to draw 3-3 against Bolton, but it was not enough to prevent the men from Wearside equalling an unwanted record - or keep manager Simon Grayson in a job.
The battle of the Championship's bottom two saw both teams take the lead and lose it before Paddy McNair levelled things up for the final time with 11 minutes remaining.
