Lewandowski breaks Muller goals record

Robert Lewandowski scored his 43rd Bayern Munich goal of 2021 to break Gerd Muller’s record

for the most Bundesliga goals in a calendar year.

The Poland striker, 33, volleyed home three minutes from time as Bayern thrashed Wolfsburg 4-0 at Allianz Arena.

Muller’s achievement of 42 Bundesliga goals in a year had stood since 1972.

The win moves Bayern nine points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table.

Midfielder Thomas Muller, who was celebrating his 400th German top-flight appearance, opened the scoring on seven

minutes before setting up Dayot Upamecano with a header in the second half to double Bayern’s lead.

Leroy Sane added to the scoreline two minutes later with a curled shot into the top corner to put the game beyond

12th-placed Wolfsburg.

On 87 minutes Lewandowski wrote his name in the history books yet again by firing in from close range past goalkeeper

Koen Casteels.

Lewandowski has scored 69 goals in 59 games for Bayern Munich and Poland this year.
