It was all the more important that Bayern didn’t slip up, because Borussia Dortmund had kicked off the weekend in swashbuckling fashion on Friday night, when they slammed six past Stuttgart. The visitors opened the scoring on 13 minutes, but that was to be the last bit of joy for the evening as Dortmund smashed six in reply. Lewandowski was undoubtedly the main hero with his well-taken hat-trick and an assist, but the supporting cast of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marco Reus and Nuri Sahin were exemplary too as they struck fear into the hearts of those Stuttgart defenders. Lewandowski now has 9 goals in 10 games, along with 3 assists in the Bundesliga.
