Leeds United overtook Sheffield United to return to the automatic promotion places in the Championship on Saturday.

The Whites’ 3-2 win over Millwall coupled with a 3-2 reverse for the Blades at the hands of Bristol City ensured a return to second.

The matchwinner on Saturday was none other than the sensational Pablo Hernandez.

It was never really in doubt that it would be the Spaniard who came up trumps in a week which saw him miss out on a place in the Football Manager Team of the Season.

Remarkably, the 33-year-old wasn’t selected in a team picked by the Championship bosses, despite 12 goals and 11 assists this season.

Despite the setback, Hernandez wasn’t in the mood to dwell and went about downing the Lions to get Leeds’ season going again.

His two goals at the weekend secured the victory and ensured that the race to reach the Premier League is now firmly within their grasp.

Despite missing out on the Team of the Year, Hernandez did make the grade for Team of the Week, announced earlier today.

Leeds fans had been dumbfounded at his absence in last week’s announcement so were naturally delighted for their player.

Following Hernandez being named among the best Football League players of the past week, we rounded up tweets from Leeds fans
