Chicharito extends scoring streak to six games

Javier Hernandez made it eight goals in his past six games as he netted a first-half equalizer for Bayer Leverkusen against Koln.

Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez just can't stop scoring.

The Mexico international found the net for the sixth straight game — bringing his total to eight goals during that span — in Bayer Leverkusen's 2-1 loss to Koln on Saturday.

Koln took the lead through an early strike from Dominik Maroh before Hernandez equalized in the 33rd minute, nodding home Admir Mehmedi's service from the right flank.

It wasn't enough, though, as Maroh struck a 72nd-minute winner following Kyriakos Papadopoulos' red card.
