Voronin’s Brace Downs Bayern, Takes Hertha Top

Andriy Voronin scored twice to lead Hertha Berlin past Bayern Munich 2-1. The victory means Hertha take over first place in the Bundesliga, which they haven’t won in 78 years. Though Voronin has been angling for a move back to Liverpool, whose striker ranks have been thinned with the departure of Robbie Keane, he would be wise to stick around at the club where he appears to be rediscovering his form. Hertha certainly do not want to see him go. Voronin’s goals after the jump.

Voronin cut inside Christian Lell to head in a lofted cross and open the scoring. After Miroslav Klose’s equalizer, Voronin responded with a textbook forward’s goal. He turned Lucio inside out before running onto a through ball and confidently slotting it into the corner with his first touch. Voronin turned in a vintage performance against world class players that fill the ranks of Bayern. He said international teammate and soon to be Munich player Anatoliy Tymoschuk left him a message after the match. I hope Voronin’s friend asked him the million dollar question: why haven’t you been able to produce even a hint of this form in a Ukraine shirt?
