The match
Dortmund went ahead on the stroke of half time when Raphael Guerreiro cut the ball back for Marco Reus to finish past Manuel Neuer. It was Reus’s 11th goal against Bayern Munich in all competitions.
However, in the last minute before half-time, Bayern equalised with a deflected strike from David Alaba after an improvised free kick set-up.
Lucien Favre’s side had only conceded two goals in the Bundesliga before this game, but conceded another goal three minutes after half-time.
Lewandowski can’t stop scoring
Robert Lewandowski scored his 11th Bundesliga goal of the season when he got in front of Mats Hummels to score with a thumping header.
It was his 17th Bundesliga goal against his former club and his 13th in eight games against Dortmund. He is the all-time ‘Der Klassiker’ goalscorer with 24 goals. The Polish striker has 38 goals in 32 games in 2020.
Guess who held the record before him…

Lewandowski set up Leroy Sane to put Bayern 3-1 up and seemingly seal all three points. But after previously missing some chances in the game, Erling Haaland rounded Neuer to set up a grandstand finish.
Reus had a chance to secure a draw but volleyed over the bar, and the three points were Bayern’s.
