Robert Lewandowski Sets Bundesliga's Single-Season Goal Record

Robert Lewandowski stands alone atop the Bundesliga single-season scoring charts.

Lewandowski scored his 41st of the season in Bayern Munich's season-ending 5-2 win vs. Augsburg, breaking a tie with German great Gerd Müller, who had held the record since 1971-72. Lewandowski pulled even with Müller in last week's draw vs. Freiburg before a 90th-minute goal on Saturday. The Polish international waited until the very last second to secure the record, pouncing on Leroy Sané's saved shot and turning it in for the final play of the game.

The record is just the latest accolade for Lewandowski, the reigning FIFA men's world player of the year who played a vital role in Bayern's sextuple and subsequent Bundesliga title, which is the club's ninth in a row.
