Bayern Munich blitzed rival Borussia Dortmund 4-1 on Saturday in Bundesliga action, with former Dortmund star Robert Lewandowski scoring from a free kick and from a penalty kick.
Stretching its home unbeaten streak to 30 matches, Bayern outclassed their rivals all match long, dominating possession and creating chance after chance.
And it didn’t take long for Bayern to strike. Franck Ribery bagged the opener just four minutes in:

But it was Arjen Robben, of course with his left foot and to the far post, making it 3-1 early in the second half.
