The Mexican striker beat Christian Pulisic, Raphael Guerreiro and Robert Lewandowski for the award, earning almost 72% of the ballots.

After pulling off a hat-trick in his last Bundesliga performance with Bayer Leverkusen, and following that up with his 100th European goal last Wednesday, Javier "Chicharito" Hernández managed to rack his third Bundesliga Player of the Month award.

The Mexican star won the prize two months in a row last season, and has started this campaign with fire coming out of his boots, ranking second in the goal scoring list behind leaders Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Robert Lewandowski with four goals. 

"Chicharito" dominated the Twitter poll posted by Bundesliga's official feed, racking up almost 20,000 votes of the 28,875 that were cast.

Bayer Leverkusen's striker will try to keep his goal scoring form when Die Werkself host Borussia Dortmund this Saturday. Curiously enough, "Little Pea" hasn't been able to score a single goal against the Yellow-and-black side since his arrival to the German top flight. Will he end his drought this weekend?
