Lewandowski nets 135th Bundesliga goal as Bayern treble omens emerge

The Poland international rescued Carlo Ancelotti's side with two goals against Freiburg, making him the league's second-highest scoring foreigner

Bayern Munich have many reasons to thank Robert Lewandowski. On Friday, the striker was once again the hero for the Bundesliga champions with two goals to bring them from behind and ensure they started 2017 with a victory.

The Poland star's double over Freiburg on Friday ensured that Bayern have won their last 39 Bundesliga matches in which he has scored.

Furthermore, Opta says that, with his 134th and 135th goals in the German top flight, he left Giovane Elber behind him (on 133) in the list of the highest scoring foreigners in the league.
