Augsburg 1-3 Bayern Munich: Lewandowski brace stretches Bayern's lead

Robert Lewandowski's brace helped Bayern Munich to a 3-1 win at Augsburg, extending its lead at the Bundesliga summit to eight points.

Bayern Munich moved eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga on Sunday, with Robert Lewandowski's brace helping to seal comfortable 3-1 Bavarian derby victory at struggling Augsburg.

Lewandowski gave the defending champion an early lead, pirouetting and superbly firing into the bottom corner after Thomas Muller's low cross picked him out in a pocket of space.

Bayern's second goal came in the 62nd minute, Lewandowski timing a run on to Thiago's throughball perfectly to slot in his 11th goal against Augsburg, which he has now scored more goals against than any other Bundesliga club.
