Hide AdThe Seagulls were in action two nights ago against Liverpool in the Carling Cup and, despite manager Gus Poyet making five changes to his staring line-up, they looked weary as Leeds raced into a two-goal lead courtesy of first-half strikes from Andy Keogh and McCormack.
But a magnificent piece of individual skill from Craig Mackail-Smith reduced the arrears moments after the interval and the Scotland international then won the penalty from which Ashley Barnes netted his seventh goal of the season.
Barnes turned provider as Mackail-Smith finished from close range with six minutes to play, but McCormack intervened to check a remarkable Brighton comeback.
