Lahm: Lewandowski should have scored seven!

Bayern Munich defender Philipp Lahm thinks five-goal super-sub Robert Lewandowski should have scored seven times on Tuesday.

Lewandowski was a half-time substitute in Bayern's 5-1 win over Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Tuesday, scoring all five of the club's goals in a nine-minute spell.

Lahm labelled Lewandowski's performance as "madness" but claimed he should have scored even more. 

"At half-time a player came in who did a little something," Lahm told reporters, jokingly downplaying the achievement. "It was incredible. Just madness.

"And he had two more chances, so he should have gone home with seven goals today."

Fellow Bayern defender Jerome Boateng echoed Lahm's words, calling the Polish forward one of the best strikes around.

"He's one of the best attackers in the world and I'm glad that he plays in my team," he added.

"It's difficult to defend against him. It's good that I can compete with him in training!"

With victory Bayern opened up a seven-point gap between themselves and third-placed Wolfsburg, but Borussia Dortmund are just three points behind and with a game in hand.
