Lewandowski surmounts Muller’s record

Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski broke Gerd Muller’s 49-year-old Bundesliga goal-scoring record for a single season on Saturday when he scored in the last minute of its last match, a 5-2 win over Augsburg, taking his tally to 41 goals, one more than the former Bayern great.

Lewandowski missed more than half a dozen clear scoring chances in the game.

But the Pole was not to be denied and in the final minute, when keeper Rafal Gikiewicz spilled a Leroy Sane shot, the forward rounded the keeper to score.
