Man Utd star Chicharito nets superb double for Mexico

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez was on the mark for Mexico in their World Cup qualifier against Honduras.

Honduras scored twice in three minutes to snatch a 2-2 draw at home to Mexico after the visitors had taken charge of their World Cup qualifier through a pair of superb goals from Hernandez.

Hernandez put 'El Tri' ahead with a superbly angled glancing header in the 28th minute after Andres Guardado burst past two defenders and delivered a pinpoint cross. The Manchester United striker struck again nine minutes into the second half with a darting run at the near post, poking in a free-kick by Carlos Salcido.

But goals through Carlos Costly and Jerry Bengtson gained a deserved point for Honduras to see them top the group after two matches.
