Hernandez delight at Bayer win
Print Edition
JAVIER Hernandez was more delighted to see Bayer Leverkusen return to winning ways in the German league by demolishing Borussia Moenchengladbach than with the first club hat-trick of his career.
“Chicharito” needed just 13 second-half minutes to score his three goals in Leverkusen’s 5-0 victory over ‘Gladbach on Saturday as former Germany striker Stefan Kiessling also scored either side of half-time at BayArena.
Having previously scored a hat-trick for Mexico in 2011, ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid star Hernandez hit the second treble of his career to leave him with 10 league goals this season. He is in a purple patch with 15 goals in Leverkusen’s last 12 games in all competitions.
Leverkusen climbed to sixth in the Bundesliga with only its second win in nine games, something which pleased Hernandez more than his hat-trick.
“I’m going to have the ball in my house, but I’m going to get the team to sign it, because it’s an effort from the whole team, not just me,” said Hernandez in continuing the tradition of taking home the match ball after a hat-trick.
Hernandez and Kiessling were superb up front as ‘Gladbach crashed to its first defeat in 11 league games under new coach Andre Schubert.
Also, Robert Lewandowski and Philipp Lahm netted as Bayern Munich labored to a 2-0 win against Ingolstadt to get back on track after last week’s shock Bundesliga defeat to ‘Gladbach.
