It took time, but Chicharito found his goalscoring form when Bayer Leverkusen needed him the most.
The Mexican striker scored yet another brace in his Bundesliga career against Eintracht Frankfurt, leading the way for Roger Schmidt's men to beat the Eagles 3-0. Hernández had experienced a three-month drought during this season, but he's finally returning to his old self.
Even the UEFA Champions League's Twitter feed highlighted his performance.
Javier Hernández has now scored 3 goals in his last 2 games for Leverkusen.

"Chicharito" seems to have no problem scoring against Eintracht Frankfurt, since he's managed to score six goals against the Eagles since he joined Bayer Leverkusen. In fact, the Mexican ace managed to set a record among his countrymen who have played in the German top flight.
Javier Hernández's fifth-minute goal is the earliest Bundesliga goal scored by a Mexican international (by 18 minutes).
