Chicharito on the board again for Real Madrid with double

The Mexican forward continued his excellent run of form with two goals for Real Madrid in Sunday's triumph.

Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez was again the hero for Real Madrid in Sunday's 4-2 win against Celta de Vigo.

The Mexican forward had seen little time for Los Blancos but started and went 74 minutes in the victory, scoring twice. The goals come only days after Hernandez had the only tally in a Real Madrid's victory against rival Atletico in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal.

On the first goal, the 26-year-old worked a few quick passes with Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez before slotting in from a narrow angle to give Real Madrid the lead after Celta jumped out to a surprise lead thanks to Nolito and Toni Kroos equalized for Madrid.
