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.
