Lewandowski has been named the Bundesliga's Player of the Month for August, beating out Yuya Osako, Marcel Sabitzer, Jadon Sancho, Jonathan Schmid and Timo Werner for the season's first prize.
Lewandowski has enjoyed perhaps his best ever start to a Bundesliga season. His haul of six goals from the first three games is the best by any player for 14 years and sees the four-time Torjägerkanone winner lead the Bundesliga scoring chart, which he has topped for the last two seasons.
The Poland captain averages a goal every 45 minutes, which is the best rate in the league for a player to score more than one goal. The striker is always good for a record, and he set up another on Matchday 1 against Hertha Berlin when Lewandowski became the first player ever to score on the opening weekend for five consecutive seasons.
