Hernandez scored the only goal in the derby in the 82nd minute. Sheffield goalkeeper Dean Henderson made a horrible mistake as he miscued his pass out of defence straight to Jack Clarke, who squared up for Hernandez to tap in.
The home side created some very good chances. Billy Sharp headed over a fine chance while Conor Washington’s acrobatic effort hit the woodwork in stoppage time.
Leeds United had 44% of possession during the game, and had six shots on target during the course of 90 minutes.
