Ancelotti: Lewandowski-Robben partnership to thank for Bayern win

Carlo Ancelotti hailed the attacking duo of Robert Lewandowski and Arjen Robben as Bayern Munich eased to a comfortable 3-1 win at Bavarian neighbours Augsburg.

Robert Lewandowski broke a five-game goal-drought in the Bundesliga by putting Bayern in front on 19 minutes, then teed up Arjen Robben to make it 2-0 just two minutes later before the Poland international bagged his second and the visitors' third early in the second half.

Augsburg did hit back through Koo Ja-Cheol, but Ancelotti felt that the reigning champions were rarely troubled as they chalked up their seventh win in nine league games thanks to the pivotal contributions of Lewandowski.
