Leeds United bolstered their position in second spot in the Championship standings on Saturday after a 2-1 victory against QPR at Elland Road.
The Peacocks now boast a five-point advantage over third-place Sheffield United heading into the busy festive season, where Marcelo Bielsa’s side face four more tests in the league before the end of 2018.
Kemar Roofe’s brace proved to be decisive in the clash against QPR, who took the lead in the first half through Nahki Wells, but Pablo Hernandez also earned particular praise from Leeds defender Pontuss Jansson.
The Sweden international, who has played with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Emil Forsberg, heralded 33-year-old Hernandez by dubbing him the best player he has ever played with, posting on social media.
That earned a variety of responses from Leeds supporters and we have gathered some of the best reactions below.

Not only is Pablo a great player @PJansson5, but he’s scored at Old Trafford against Man. U. That makes him super special in the eyes of #lufc fans 😀
