#2 Robert Lewandowski super sub

Lewandowski broke records with his five-star performance

Bayern Munich were losing against Wolfsburg 1-0 and Pep Guardiola decided to bring on his Polish hitman, Robert Lewandowski to change things for the Bavarians. However, not even Guardiola could believe what would happen less than 15 minutes later.

The Polish international came on at half time as a substitute and then proceeded to demolish Wolfsburg, within fifteen minutes of his introduction.

Lewandowski replaced Thiago and less than six minutes later, the Pole put his first past Diego Benagilo. Within the next four minutes, Lewandowski scored the fastest hat trick in Bundesliga history, before adding his fourth in the 57th minute and a brilliant fifth in the 60th minute after volleying Mario Gotze’s cross with an outrageous scissor kick to send the already ecstatic crowd into further rapture.

The 28-year-old set multiple Bundesliga records, including the most goals scored by a substitute (5), the fastest Bundesliga hat-trick (3 minutes and 22 seconds), the fastest four goals in a Bundesliga match (5 minutes and 42 seconds) and the fastest five goals in a Bundesliga match (8 minutes and 59 seconds).

And he was never even supposed to make an appearance that day!
