It's all going great for Chicharito Hernandez right now.
Even though he didn't score during Mexico's World Cup qualifiers (he ended up not needing to, as Mexico won both games), Hernandez has been in ridiculous form for his club, Bayer Leverkusen.
He has 11 goals in 15 games for Leverkusen after a Brace this weekend against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Chicharito's 11th goal in 15 games for Bayer Leverkusen was probably his easiest. https://t.co/2YGLo2nf7u

He's always had that gift for being in the right places at the right times, and at Bayer Leverkusen he's had ample opportunities to utilize that gift. Today's goals were no exception. You can tell his teammates trust him implicitly, which makes him way more comfortable in the game and allows him to do what he does best: put the ball in the back of the net.

Now, the real question is whether he can keep this up. Is he just on a super hot streak or has he morphed back into the fire-breathing goal dragon we say occasionally at Manchester United? Time will tell, but this streak is almost long enough to become not a streak anymore, but a permanent thing.
They say form is temporary, class is permanent. We are finding out if Chicharito is just on a run of awesome form, or if he's just class.
