Lewandowski Nets Hat-Trick to Spearhead Bayern’s Rout of GladbachLewandowski Nets Hat-Trick to Spearhead Bayern’s Rout of Gladbach Berlin, Germany – Bayern Munich extended their dominance of the Bundesliga on Saturday as Robert Lewandowski spearheaded their relentless attack with a clinical hat-trick to annihilate Borussia Mönchengladbach 6-0. In a one-sided encounter at the Allianz Arena, the German champions unleashed their attacking prowess from the outset. Lewandowski opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a close-range finish from Kingsley Coman’s assist. The Polish striker doubled Bayern’s lead just before half-time, tapping in from close range once again after Leroy Sané’s low cross found him unmarked in the box. After the break, Bayern continued their relentless assault and Lewandowski completed his hat-trick in the 55th minute, converting a penalty after he was brought down by Christoph Kramer. The goals kept flowing for the Bavarian giants as Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala added to the tally with clinical finishes. There was still time for a late strike from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to complete the rout. Lewandowski’s hat-trick takes his Bundesliga tally to an astonishing 17 goals in just 13 appearances this season. The 33-year-old is now just three goals away from breaking Gerd Müller’s long-standing record of 40 goals in a single campaign. Bayern’s victory cements their position at the summit of the Bundesliga standings, nine points clear of second-placed Union Berlin. The Bavarian behemoths have now won 12 of their opening 13 league matches and show no signs of slowing down. For Gladbach, this defeat is a major setback in their hopes of challenging for a European place. They remain in eighth place, seven points behind sixth-placed RB Leipzig.
