Lewandowski's five goals in nine minutes off the bench v Wolfsburg
Post
๐ฐ On 22 September 2015, Robert Lewandowski came off the bench and scored five goals in 8 minutes 59 seconds.
๐ Key points
๐๏ธ Bayern Munich v Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, 22 September 2015.
๐ Lewandowski came on at half-time with Bayern 1-0 down.
โฝ He scored five times between the 51st and 60th minutes.
๐ Bayern turned a 1-0 deficit into a 5-1 win.
๐
Guinness World Records recognised four records.
๐ What happened back then
๐ช For the home game against Wolfsburg on matchday six of 2015-16, Pep Guardiola left Lewandowski on the bench. Daniel Caligiuri put Wolfsburg ahead in the first half, and Guardiola sent Lewandowski on at the break.
โฝ What followed was barely believable. Lewandowski scored in the 51st minute, again a minute later, and completed his hat-trick in 3 minutes 22 seconds. His fourth came 5 minutes 42 seconds after his first, and his fifth, a superb volley, arrived after 8 minutes 59 seconds.

In November that year Guinness World Records confirmed four records: the fastest Bundesliga hat-trick, the fastest four goals, the fastest five goals, and the most goals by a substitute in a Bundesliga match. Wolfsburg had not conceded in their previous four games.
๐ By the numbers
โข Hat-trick in 3:22, four goals in 5:42, five goals in 8:59
โข Most goals by a substitute in a Bundesliga game: 5
โข Final score: Bayern 5-1 Wolfsburg
๐ญ Why it matters
This was one of the nights that made Lewandowski the world's best No 9. He went on to set the Bundesliga single-season record of 41 goals. More than a decade later, five goals in nine minutes has never been matched.
