Robert Lewandowski’s barnstorming start to the season has hit another high, with the Bayern Munich striker breaking an all-time Bundesliga record on Saturday.
He scored what proved to be the winning goal in a topsy-turvy 3-2 win at Paderborn, taking his league tally to 10 goals in six games – the best total of any player at this stage of the season.
Only one player had ever scored in the first six Bundesliga games of a season. Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang notched in eight consecutive games for Borussia Dortmund at the beginning of the 2015-16 campaign, but it took him until the eighth before he hit double figures.
