Bayern Munich 5-0 Dinamo Zagreb: Robert Lewandowski nets brilliant hat-trick

Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski continued his remarkable scoring run with a hat-trick in a 5-0 thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night.
The emphatic victory snapped the Croats' 45-game unbeaten run and saw Bayern take control of their Champions League group.
 
In an explosive first half in which Bayern were 4-0 up inside half an hour, Lewandowski netted twice in seven minutes after Brazilian Douglas Costa had put Bayern ahead.

Lewandowski has notched a staggering 10 goals in Bayern's last three matches, including five in a record nine-minute spell against VfL Wolfsburg last week.
 
Mario Gotze added his second of the campaign before Poland captain Lewandowski chipped keeper Eduardo in the 55th minute for his third goal as the title favourites moved to a maximum six points from two Group F matches.
 
Dinamo, unbeaten in 45 consecutive matches in all competitions before Tuesday and winners at Arsenal in their opening group game, were mere observers witnessing Bayern's awe-inspiring display of speed, skill and strength. 
 
Pep Guardiola's men now face Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena, in the Bundesliga, on Sunday, while Dinamo Zagreb will hope to bounce back away at Inter Zapresic on Saturday.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
