Lewandowski matches Ronaldo scoring feat as Bayern smash Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

The German side made light work of the Blues thanks to the Polish star and his career-best Champions League goals return

Robert Lewandowski equalled a Champions League record set by Cristiano Ronaldo as he led Bayern Munich to an emphatic win at Chelsea.

Lewandowski scored once and assisted another two goals as the Bundesliga leaders claimed a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday.

The Bayern striker combined with Serge Gnabry to devastating effect to set up two goals in the space of three minutes for the Germany winger, before tapping in a cross from the electric Alphonso Davies to secure a potentially unassailable first-leg advantage.
