'I asked if he was not fit!' - Muller jokes about Bayern Munich hat-trick hero Lewandowski setting him up to score

The Germany international was surprised to see his team-mate pass up an early chance in the Bundesliga champions' 5-0 rout of Hertha Berlin

Thomas Muller joked about Robert Lewandowski setting him up to score after seeing the Bayern Munich striker net his first hat-trick of the season.

Bayern moved up to second in the Bundesliga by thrashing Hertha Berlin 5-0 at Allianz Arena on Saturday, with Lewandowski netting three goals and Muller and Jamal Musiala also getting on the scoresheet.

Muller opened the scoring with just six minutes on the clock after receiving a pass from Alphonso Davies in the box, but he was surprised to see Lewandowski produce a clever dummy instead of taking on the chance himself.
