Polish Sniper Robert Lewandowski surpassed a long-standing Bundesliga goals record set by Gerd Muller by opening the scoring for Bayern Munich against Freiburg on Sunday.
Lewandowski was one of the main contributes to Bayern's run to the treble last season, bagging in 55 goals in 47 games across all competitions.
Of those efforts, 34 were recorded in the Bundesliga, with the 32-year-old narrowly missing out on the European Golden Shoe by one goal behind Lazio's Ciro Immobile.
The iconic sniper is leading the race for that award midway through the 2020-21 campaign, though, having once again been the driving force behind Bayern's bid to maintain their domestic dominance.
Lewandowski increased his goal tally to 21 goals this year after producing a phenomenal finish seven minutes into Bayern's clash with Freiburg, who are currently 10 points behind Hansi Flick's side in the standings.
The experienced centre-forward surpassed Muller's mark of 20 goals in the first half of a single German top-flight season with his strike on match day 16 - a record which the World Cup winner had held for 42 years.
