His time in international soccer was marked by goals of all colors and flavors. Unconventional shots positioned 'Chicharito' Hernandez as one of the most lethal strikers of his generation. For that reason, we are going to review 10 goals that you probably won’t remember, but that you can't miss.
-Vs Stoke City (Manchester United, Premier League)
Ball over the top? A common striker would think of finishing with his forehead. But 'Chicharito' is no ordinary striker, he scored with the back of his head in one of his first appearances as a Red Devil!
-Vs Stoke City (Manchester United, Premier League)
As if a goal with the back of his head wasn't enough, he once again immunized the Potters, this time with a back-heeled finish at the near post.
-Vs Wolverhampton (Manchester United, Carabao Cup)
'Chicharito' scored 2 goals with this express cutback in his first stint with Chivas and in England he had to replicate it. At speed and against the sweep of an opponent, he feinted and shot almost in the same movement to score a great goal.
-Vs Chelsea (Manchester United, FA Cup)
One of his favorite victims in European soccer was Chelsea. Against the Blues, he crowned one of his best performances in the Old Continent with a tremendous headed goal at the back post, which he scored between 3 rival players.
-Vs Deportivo La Coruña (Real Madrid, La Liga)
What a way to introduce him to Spain! In La Coruña, after receiving a pass from Isco, Javier had no qualms in striking a left-footed volley into the corner, in what was his first goal as a Merengue.
-Vs France (Mexican National Team, South Africa 2010)
A goal full of history for the Hernández Balcázar family and the Rojiblanco Nation! His World Cup goalscoring debut came in Polokwane, with 63' on the clock and against France, just as his grandfather did in 1954. Hernández beat the goalkeeper to make it 1-0 for Mexico.
-Vs United States (Mexico National Team, Friendly)
Javier put on his overalls to accompany the play from the start. He dribbled, triangulated and ready to score a header against the CONCACAF rival in a friendly match with the Tricolor.
-Vs South Korea (Mexican National Team, Russia 2018)
To go down in Mexican soccer history, there's no better way than scoring in your third consecutive World Cup. With quick footwork: a left-footed cutback and a right-footed finish, 'Chicharito' sealed the Mexican victory in Rostov.
-Vs Costa Rica (Mexican National Team, Russia 2018 Qualifiers)
Is there a record to match? Chicharito knows how to do it. With the Azteca Stadium as the setting, in a World Cup qualifier, and with a definition at the height of very few, Javier roofed Keylor Navas's save to reach 45 celebrations with the Mexican National Team.
-Vs Wolfsburg (Bayer Leverkusen, Bundesliga)
Some say that goals from outside the box are not his specialty... Well, this is the proof that this is not the case. Goal from the left corner of the box to the far post with the Aspirins' shirt!
