Leeds United bounced back from the defeat against West Brom prior to the international break by securing a 2-0 victory over Bristol City at Elland Road.

The win maintains the Peacocks’ position in third place in the Championship standings heading into the busy festive period – which could make or break for Marcelo Bielsa’s side and their promotion hopes this season.

It was not the most comfortable of wins though as it took until the 69th minute for Leeds to take the lead, utilising their advantage after the visitors saw Josh Brownhill sent off for two bookable offences, with Pablo Hernandez then easing the nerves in the last few minutes.

Hernandez’s goal came courtesy of a superb cross from Samuel Saiz, who came off the bench to impress in another cameo performance – which has left many fans on social media urging Bielsa to hand him a start in the coming games.

We have gathered some of the reactions to his performance below.
