Leeds United winger Pablo Hernandez had a superb November.

The Spaniard scored three times in four Championship games last month, helping the Whites beat Wigan and Bristol City as well as nabbing a consolation in a loss to West Brom.

Hernandez now has seven goals and four assists in just 13 appearances for Leeds this season, made all the more remarkable when factoring in a nine-game absence in all competitions (Transfermarkt).

As a result, the 33-year-old was among the contenders for November’s PFA Championship Fans’ Player of the Month award.

It was a close battle in the end but Hernandez claimed 32% of the votes, narrowly seeing off Nottingham Forest’s Joe Lolley with 31% as noted by the official Leeds site.

In comparison, Tammy Abraham of Aston Villa claimed 13% while his teammate Alan Hutton and Norwich duo Teemu Pukki and Emi Buendia didn’t get beyond 10% each.
