Lewandowski bags hat-trick as Bayern sink Dortmund in six-goal thriller
Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich secured a comeback 4-2 victory against Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena on Saturday night.
Robert Lewandowski nullified Erling Braut Haaland’s brace with a hat-trick to send Bayern back to the top of the summit with two points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig.
Haaland stunned the home side by giving Edin Terzić’s side the lead with a seven-minute brace just nine minutes into the first half but Lewandowski cancelled out the Norwegian’s goals with a close-range effort and a strike from the penalty spot before half-time.
BVB held The Bavarians 2-2 for the remainder of the second half but Leon Goretzka’s goal three-minutes to the end of regular time gave the home side the lead for the first time in the game.
Lewandowski haunted his former club once more with a clinical shot to notch his hat-trick and secure the three points for Hans-Dieter Flick’s side.
