Javier Hernandez Wins 3rd Consecutive Bundesliga Player of the Month Award

Javier Hernandez is having quite the season with Bayer Leverkusen.

The Mexican forward has scored nine goals in his last seven games, per ESPN FC, and sits fourth in the Bundesliga scoring charts. Furthermore, his record over the past 16 games is only matched by one other forward in Europe:

As our friend Tom Olver at Metro pointed out, this is the third successive month in which he has taken home the gong.  

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal deemed Hernandez surplus to requirements this past summer and sold the forward for a little over £7 million. This surely makes him one of the biggest bargains of the 2015-16 season—and one of the most regrettable decisions of LVG's reign at Old Trafford.
