At Griffin Park, Neal Maupay fired the hosts in front in the first half, after Marcelo Bielsa’s side had earlier been controversially denied a penalty when Patrick Bamford was hauled down by Julian Jeanvier.
The Whites then conceded again just after the hour mark when Sergi Canos tucked home and Bielsa’s boys could not muster a response as they slipped to three points behind second-placed Sheffield United with just two games to go.
