Lewandowski nets hat-trick as Bayern stage comeback to beat Dortmund
Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick as Bayern Munich came from two goals down to beat Borissia Dortmund 4-2 on Saturday evening.
Edin Terzic’s side, who were without Jadon Sancho and Raphael Guerreiro, did not appear to miss them as they scored twice in the opening nine minutes through Erling Halaand.

Haaland got his first with a deflected strike from outside the box before making it 2-0 with a tap in from Thorgan Hazard’s pass.
The visitors then went into ultra defensive mode and invited the Bavarians onto them with disastrous consequences.

Lewandowski pulled a goal back with a close range finish and then netted the equaliser with a penalty to cap off a pulsating first-half.
Hansi Flick’s side dominated the second period but were dealt an injury blow with Jerome Boateng limping off with a suspected hamstring injury.
