The surprising thing with Lewandowski scoring the five goals was that he only needed nine touches to do so.

The game then changed in dramatic fashion when Lewandowski came off the bench and scored his first when he stabbed the ball home on 51 minutes. “But five goals, that’s incredible”. They are both very calm for starters.
Arturo Vidal and Thomas Müller 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. “Wow!” said Guardiola. “I may never see anything like that again either”. He was not alone. But he admitted it was a bit of a blur.
Lewandowski has a contract until 2019 with Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munchen smashed their biggest rivals of last season 5 unreplied goals to 1 at Allianz Arena on Tuesday. “And he had two more chances, so he should have gone home with seven goals today”. “We have to talk to him about that…” Is he really going to overtake Lionel Messi?

“I can’t explain it”, said Bayern coach Pep Guardiola at the post-match press conference. That minor fact didn’t stop Kucharski from commenting on where the man German media are calling a “footballing god” might play somewhere down the line.
Mathieu Flamini fired Arsenal to a 2-1 win at Tottenham – but the Gunners could be hot water after fans were filmed ripping down signs at White Hart Lane. Toennies, through his former club, was quick to congratulate the new record holder, telling Lewandowski: ‘You deserved it’. “I think the ankle’s fine”, said the 27-year-old with a grin.
Rafinha has admitted he would be interested in playing in the Premier League and other English clubs have expressed an interest. Still, the rumors that Liverpool has contacted Carlo Ancelotti to replace Rodgers (denied by the club) have started. This season, Bayern have serenely extended that unblemished record to some 40 games with six wins out of six. You play poorly for 45 minutes and then grab five goals in nine minutes.
It’s likely that whatever striker has the better day will see their team walk away with the three points.

Ross Barkley has been told he can emulate Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard after scoring a volley worthy of the two England superstars on his 100th Everton appearance.

The architect of the win was Hatem Ben Arfa, who has been outstanding this season. Lewandowski was the 2013/04 Bundesliga top scorer, and he heads the charts this term with eight goals – only four players in Bundesliga history have scored more goals than him after six matchdays.
