Watch: Chicharito scores crucial Champions League goal for Leverkusen


Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez followed up his weekend hat trick vs. Mainz with a vital Champions League goal for Bayer Leverkusen in the club's match at Monaco on Tuesday.
Chicharito's goal was a classic one for the Mexican international forward, a close-range, powerful header off a cross from Admir Mehmedi. Following a 2-2 home draw with CSKA Moscow to open Group E play in the Champions League, Leverkusen took a big step toward securing one of its most difficult results in the group by going ahead at Monaco, typically a difficult place for visitors to win.
