Onel Hernandez helped Norwich City beat Leeds United on Saturday.

Norwich City and Leeds United fans are agreeing on one thing: Onel Hernandez is brilliant.

The Canaries beat Leeds 3-1 at Elland Road on Saturday to leapfrog Marcelo Bielsa’s side and move top of the Championship on goal difference.

The 26-year-old Norwich attacker was a torn in United’s side for much of the evening, winning the free kick that led to Mario Vrancic’s opener, before playing a role in the Bosnian’s second with a tidy backheel.

Leeds right-back Luke Ayling appeared to struggle with the Cuban’s pace and purpose, and Whites and Norwich supporters on Twitter agreed that he was superb.

It wasn’t a perfect performance from Hernandez, who can play much better, but he did enough to help Daniel Farke’s side claim a huge three points.

Leeds still have promotion in their own hands, with Bielsa’s troops three points ahead of Sheffield United in third, but United have struggled in 2019 so far and next week’s visit to Middlesbrough is another huge game.
