Bayern Munich recovered from a disappointing 2-2 draw in their season opener as they beat Schalke 3-0 in Gelsenkirchen.
Match Report
Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick to take his goal tally to five in two games as he fired Bayern Munich to their first Bundesliga victory of the season in a 3-0 defeat of Schalke.
After finishing with his lowest goal return for four years in 2018-19, plundering 22 league goals, the Poland international has started the new campaign in electric form and Schalke failed to contain him.
Any hopes Schalke boss David Wagner had of taking points from his first home game in charge were cast into doubt when Lewandowski converted a first-half penalty.
The 31-year-old saved his best for the second half, when he curled a spectacular free-kick into the top corner and then added a third to wrap up a comfortable victory.

People keep fighting over who's the best Striker in the world, some say its Suarez, some choose Kane while others choose their respective team's strikers while Lewandowski keeps scoring tons of goals.

When lewa is in his top condition there is no one in the world that can stop him, he transforms into Lewamachenski. Good performance from all the lads, hopefully to see Coutinho in a much better shape, but his dribbles and touches were beautiful ❤️

Seeing this hat trick reminded me of when he literally scored 5 goals in 9 minutes🔥🔥🔥He's really audible enough to challenge whoever is chasing the golden boot this season.
