LA Galaxy are back in the MLS play-offs for the first time in three years and the goals of former Manchester United star Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez have been pivotal in their resurgence.
The Mexican striker scored 18 league goals in the regular season, with 11 coming in the final 12 games to secure the Galaxy's place in the postseason, and a 1-0 win over Nashville on Saturday has booked a Western Conference semi-final clash with cross-city rivals LAFC at Banc of California Stadium on Thursday.
Hernandez's predatory finishing made him an instant fan-favourite at Old Trafford after a bargain move from Guadalajara in 2010, going on to win a pair of Premier League titles and score 59 goals in 157 games. He later had spells with Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham and Sevilla before his move to the MLS.
