# Manchester United: Fans rave over Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez’s memorable goal

**Many Manchester United fans have been reflecting on a memorable goal from Javier Hernandez, after [the club’s official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1258698658297589767) shared footage of ‘Chicharito’ opening the scoring against Petr Cech in the Premier League.**

Hernandez has scored plenty of impressive goals throughout his long career so far, and although he is best known as a [deadly poacher inside the box](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/35003/Show/Chicharito), it is his sensational finish at the end of a well-worked team move that has fans drooling on Twitter this week.

[United posted](https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/1258698658297589767) footage of his strike at home to the Blues, a goal that helped Sir Alex Ferguson’s men stave off a spirited Chelsea side managed by Carlo Ancelotti. He remarkably broke the deadlock against the London club in just 36 seconds, latching onto a sublime pass from Park-Ji Sung, and slotting the ball into the back of the net past the helpless goalkeeper ([Goal](https://www.goal.com/en/news/9/english-football/2011/05/08/2477318/manchester-united-2-1-chelsea-chicharito-vidic-on-target-in)).

After a header from Nemanja Vidic put the game beyond Chelsea, Fergie’s Red Devils moved within [one point](https://www.goal.com/en/news/9/english-football/2011/05/08/2477318/manchester-united-2-1-chelsea-chicharito-vidic-on-target-in) of the coveted Premier League trophy. They went on to win the 19th English title in the club’s history at the end of the [season](https://www.premierleague.com/history/2010-11).

Unsurprisingly, a whole number of the Old Trafford faithful are still raving about the goal machine’s “brilliant” effort, with one fan cheekily dubbing the Mexican “Chelsea’s worst nightmare.”

> Chicha was great off the bench and could’ve been such a useful back-up striker. Chelsea’s worst nightmare. LvG should’ve never sold him.
