Robert Lewandowski sets new Bundesliga Record with the player with the most number of goals (5) in a match.
Robert Lewandowski scored an incredible
five goals in nine (9) second-half minutes to
propel Bayern Munich to a sensational 5-1
victory over Bundesliga title rivals
Wolfsburg at the Allianz Arena. Daniel Caligiuri gave the visitors the lead, but
that was wiped out in stunning fashion by the
Polish striker, who took the game into his own
hands after coming on as a substitute during the half time,
beginning his scoring spree in the 51st minute. He completed a sensational five minutes Hat
trick, added a fourth moments later then
took his tally to five on the hour with a
brilliant acrobatic volley as Bayern claimed
their sixth win from as many matches to go
three points clear at the top of the table. Wolfsburg employed similar tactics to their
German Supercup win over Bayern, sitting
back and soaking up pressure before hitting
quickly on the break. This gave Bas Dost, restored to the starting XI
after being dropped at the weekend, an early
chance to beat Manuel Neuer, even if it
proved to be a rare opening for the
Dutchman, who had given his coach food for
thought with a brace as a substitute on Saturday. Arturo Vidal and Thomas Muller missed the
target as Bayern tried to make something out
of their possession, but Diego Benaglio had
little work to do in the Wolfsburg goal. Just as Bayern passed through four hours
without conceding in all competitions, they
fell behind with Caligiuri beating Neuer with
a powerful volley inside his near post. Julian Draxler tested Neuer before the
Bayern and Germany number one went
walkabout, losing possession in the
Wolfsburg half, from where Josuha
Guilavogui took aim for the open goal only to
find the outside of the left-hand post. Guardiola sent Lewandowski and Javier
Martinez on for the second half, shifting his
players around a little, and it worked just
five minutes in with the Pole bringing Bayern
level. Thomas Muller burst through and as the ball
got away from him, it teed up Lewandowski
to tap in from close range. He had barely finished celebrating that goal. When he gave Bayern the lead from much
further out, beating Benaglio with a low shot
from 20 yards. Lewandowski completed his hat-trick in the
55th minute, first striking the post, then
hitting Benaglio before converting at the
third time of asking. He added his and Bayern's fourth three
minutes after, volleying in from seven yards
out to put the result beyond any doubt. His hot streak continued with goal number
five in 10 minutes, an even sweeter volley
from the edge of the box which had even
Guardiola holding his head in shock on the
touchline. Ricardo Rodriguez denied Lewandowski a
sixth with a clearance off the line as Bayern's
Polish striker tore like a whirlwind through
the Wolfsburg defence, despite being touch
and go before kick-off due to injury.
