Lewandowski Equals Goal Milestone As Bayern Beat Bremen

By Daily sports on March 14, 2021

Bayern Munich romped to a 3-1 win at Werder Bremen on Saturday as Robert Lewandowski claimed another goal-scoring milestone in the Bundesliga and hit the woodwork three times in a dynamic display.

Bayern dominated their final fixture before hosting Lazio in the Champions League last 16, second leg, on Wednesday holding a 4-1 lead

Goals by Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry put Bayern 2-0 up in Bremen before Lewandowski claimed his 32nd league goal this season.

Niclas Fuellkrug came off the bench to score a late consolation goal.

"We were fresher and more active. We had control of the game. We should have scored more," said Bayern forward Thomas Mueller, who set up the first two goals.

Despite hitting the post and clipping the crossbar, Lewandowski finally scored with an hour gone to equal former Schalke striker Klaus Fischer's tally of 268 Bundesliga goals.

Only Bayern legend Gerd Mueller has scored more in Germany's top-flight with 365 in 427 league games.

A superb save from Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka also prevented Lewandowski scoring with a powerful header late on.

The victory extends Bayern's lead at the top of the table to five points.

Second-placed RB Leipzig need to beat Eintracht Frankfurt at home on Sunday to keep pace with the Bavarians.

Mueller was outstanding in Bremen as his deft flick allowed Goretzka to head home the opening goal from a corner on 22.

With a superb piece of skill, Mueller then deftly chested down the ball and rolled a pass into Gnabry's path to score on 35 minutes.

It was 2-0 at the break and Lewandowski hit the post twice in quick succession early in the second-half.

The Poland star finally got on the scoresheet when he tapped home from close range before Bremen scored their consolation after a counter-attack. (Reuters)
