Just when we thought Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez had reached the peak of his powers with an incredible run on form, he went and topped himself by scoring a hat trick in Bayer Leverkusen's 5-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach.
On the first goal, Hernandez got to show off his dribbling skills.
