ST, Robert Lewandowski — 10/10

The best striker in the world continues to score goals for fun. Lewandowski was on it from the word go against VfB Stuttgart. The Polish striker opened the scoring with a well-timed run in the box and a clever finish. He doubled his tally with a tremendous header, while a great bit of footwork was shown in the third goal. Lewandowski’s quickfire hattrick in the first half made sure that Bayern cruised to victory. With 35 goals in 25 league games, it is a matter of when rather if when he breaks the record.
