Leeds United goal hero on 'one of the best moments of his career' against former club Swansea City

Former Swansea City winger Pablo Hernandez haunted his former club in the most cruel fashion on Sunday, scoring a late winner for Leeds United which put a serious dent in the Swans' play-off hopes.

Steve Cooper's men were on the verge of a crucial point which would have taken them into the Championship play-off spots on goal difference.

However, Hernandez, who played for the Swans between 2012 and 2014, netted late on to put the Elland Road club on the brink of automatic promotion while knocking the chances of his former employers.

Speaking about it afterwards in the post-match press conference, the 35-year-old admitted this goal and what it means for Leeds' promotion bid to the Premier League ranks highly among his favourite moments in the sport.

"[It's] difficult to say, but one of the best moments, yes. Sometimes I can score and assist, sometimes I cannot.

"The minimum we need from the players is to give 100 per cent.

"Very important against a difficult opponent. Happy ending. I can finish good the collective action late on. Important for achieving our goal."

Hernandez wasn't the only one celebrating after his return to the Liberty Stadium.

After the match, Hernandez' wife Mar Garcia tweeted a picture of the ex-Swan celebrating his goal, with the Spanish word 'indescriptible' which translates as 'indescribable' in English.
