Leeds United moved back into the automatic promotion spots on Saturday.
Leeds United ace Tyler Roberts has told the club’s official website that he thinks Pablo Hernandez’s form right now is ‘crazy’.
The Whites played out a frantic 3-2 win over Millwall on Saturday afternoon, in a game which had almost every twist and turn in the book.
Ben Thompson had put Millwall in front before Patrick Bamford missed a penalty and Hernandez equalised, only for Ben Marshall to score a spot kick for Millwall.
Leeds performed a miraculous recovery in the final 20 minutes though, as Luke Ayling equalised and Hernandez popped up with the winner to send Elland Road barmy.
With Sheffield United losing at home to Bristol City, Leeds are back in the automatic promotion spots with just seven games to play, and much of their success is down to Hernandez.
The 33-year-old Spaniard has been sensational all season, racking up 12 goals and 11 assists this term, yet somehow being left out of the Championship Team of the Year.
Hernandez has now hit five goals in his last five games, proving to be the driving force in the Leeds side as they close in on promotion under Marcelo Bielsa.
Now, teammate Roberts has admitted that it’s ‘amazing’ to play alongside Hernandez, and thinks what he is doing right now is ‘crazy’, and he’s doing it every single game, which makes him a special player.
“Pablo is amazing to play alongside, it is nice to have him in the team, I was making runs and he always has the quality to find you,” said Roberts. “It is crazy what he is doing, but he is a special player and he is doing it game after game,” he added.
