Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa says the “intelligent” Pablo Hernandez was “very important” against Ipswich Town on Wednesday night.
Leeds picked up all three points at home to the Tractor Boys, going top of the Championship table in the process, and Bielsa singled out a number of players for praise.
Hernandez, who had missed seven league games due to injury, made only his second appearance for Leeds since August and was outstanding at Elland Road.
The 33-year-old, who has made 87 appearances in all competitions for United since his 2017-move from Al Arabi, set up both goals in Wednesday’s 2-0 win and “played as if he was not injured”, according to Bielsa.
