LONDON (AP) " Javier Hernandez took over at the top of the Associated Press Global Football 10 on Tuesday after scoring four goals in two games for Bayer Leverkusen.

Hernandez scored a hat trick in 13 minutes as his team beat Borussia Moenchengladbach in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The former Manchester United player also got a goal in the 1-1 draw with Barcelona in the Champions League.

"How United would love to have Hernandez in his current form," Marco Monteverde of News Corp. Australia said. "Their loss is Bayer Leverkusen's gain."

Zlatan Ibrahimovic managed three goals in two matches for Paris Saint-Germain, including two in the 5-1 win over Lyon, and is runner-up. Leicester striker Jamie Vardy is third after scoring the opening goal in his team's 2-1 win over Chelsea.

In fourth place was Olivier Giroud, who scored a hat trick as Arsenal beat Olympiakos 3-0 in the Champions League and advanced to the knockout stage. He followed it up with a strike against Aston Villa in Arsenal's 2-0 win on Sunday.

"What a week it was for Olivier Giroud and Arsenal," Jonathan Johnson of beIN Sports USA said. "The France international scored four goals as Arsenal completed their improbable comeback to qualify from Champions League Group F and won comfortably away at Aston Villa to go second in the Premier League."

Antoine Griezmann was fifth for getting Atletico Madrid's winner in the comeback 2-1 against Athletic Bilbao.

Robert Lewandowski, Riyad Mahrez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mauro Icardi and Paulo Dybala completed the top 10.

PSG took first in the team vote after its 5-1 win over Lyon followed a 2-0 Champions League victory over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Atletico is second after for the win against Bilbao, which moved it level on points with Barcelona at the top of the Spanish league. Atletico also reached the last 16 of the Champions League by winning 2-1 at Benfica.

Arsenal is third while Leicester is fourth and Bayern Munich is fifth. Villarreal, Inter Milan, Leverkusen, Juventus and Manchester City round out the top 10.
