Related Topics: Javier Hernández, Bayer

Javier Hernandez made it seven goals in five games, notching the winner in Bayer Leverkusen's 1-0 triumph over Ingolstadt.

For Chicharito, the script has become increasingly predictable — another game, another goal.

Javier Hernandez made it seven goals in his past fives matches for Bayer Leverkusen, notching the 73rd-minute winner in a 1-0 triumph over Ingolstadt in Bundesliga action Saturday.

Hernandez now has 19 goals in 22 matches in all competitions since joining Leverkusen from Manchester United late in the summer transfer window.

His latest strike came on a counterattack Saturday, as Karim Bellarabi carried the ball into the final third and slipped in Hernandez, who hit a sliding, 12-yard shot past charging goalkeeper Orjan Nyland.
