Robert Lewandowski scored four goals, including a dramatic 93rd-minute winner from the penalty spot, as defending champions Bayern Munich edged Hertha Berlin in a thrilling Bundesliga match.
The Polish international Lewandowski gave the hosts a 2-0 lead but Jhon
Cordoba and Matheus Cunha responded for Hertha.
The 32-year-old scored an hat-trick with five minutes left but Jessic Ngankam struck an 88th-minute leveller.
Bayern’s prolific striker then kept his cool to convert the late winner.
In their previous league game, Hansi Flick’s Bayern suffered their first
defeat since December 2019 in a 4-1 loss to Hoffenheim.
The Champions League winners had won the UEFA Super Cup against
Sevilla three days prior to that defeat, which ended a run of 23 consecutive victories in all competitions and 32 games unbeaten.
But on Sunday they were eventually able to build on their midweek German Super Cup triumpha 3-2 victory over rivals Borussia Dortmund thanks to the superb Lewandowski.
The UEFA men’s Player of the Year followed up his saved header to open the scoring, before collecting Chris Richards’ cut-back and turning his man to convert his second.
Cordoba’s header offered the visitors a lifeline and Cunha played a neat one-two with Krzysztof Piatek before slotting past Manuel Neuer with 20 minutes remaining.
Lewandowski pounced on Thomas Muller’s knock-down to make it 3-2 and he again saved Bayern after Ngankam’s header by winning a
penalty and finding the bottom corner to complete a sensational
individual display.
