ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI SCORED a hat-trick today as Bayern Munich romped to a 4-0 home win over Stuttgart despite having Alphonso Davies sent off in the 12th minute.
The result keeps Bayern four points clear at the top after second-placed RB Leipzig won 1-0 at Arminia Bielefeld on Friday.
Lewandowski has now scored 35 league goals this season to leave him just five short of Gerd Müller’s all-time Bundesliga record of 40, set in 1971/72.

A superb exchange of passes between Leroy Sane and Thomas Müller set up Gnabry to score Bayern’s second on 22 minutes.
