With their recent form and the fact they have never recorded a victory in Munich, Wolfsburg met the reigning champions with little hope. And it made sense. A comfortable 4-0 win was an early Christmas present for the Bayern fans delivered by Julian Nagelsmann’s and his men. Bayern’s unbeaten record at home against the ‘Wolves’ extended to 29 Bundesliga matches.It didn’t take Bayern long to start purring against the guests. Just seven minutes in, Thomas Muller provided a breakthrough. Leroy Sane’s effort was denied by goalkeeper Koen Casteels but it went into the feet of Muller, who sent the ball into the roof of the net.Even though the visitors tried to endanger Manuel Neuer – mostly via Wout Weghorst – it was a piece of cake for the home team to take the energy and the ball to their own feet.Bayern wasted no time in the second period, scoring twice in 15 minutes after the restart. First, it was Dayot Upamecano with a cheeky header. Third came in emphatic fashion – Sane’s run ended with the German international curling a beautiful edge-of-the-box strike into the left side netting.Robert Lewandowski secured yet another piece of history. He was chasing a singular goal to break the record for most scored by any Bundesliga player in a calendar year (43) and he managed to do so when he converted a left-footed bicycle kick from close range.Bayern are now unbeaten in their previous 16 meetings with Wolfsburg. The pressure mounts on new boss Florian Kohfeldt as his side sees seven straight defeats.ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI BREAKS THE RECORD FOR THE MOST BUNDESLIGA GOALS IN A CALENDAR YEAR 🚨Gerd Muller’s previous record of 42 had stood for 49 years 😱 pic.twitter.com/iggCkEfSIb— GOAL (@goal) December 17, 2021 Bundesliga, Round 17Friday Bayern München – Wolfsburg 4-0 (1-0)/Muller 7, Upamecano 57, Sane 59, Lewandowski 88/Saturday17:30 Hoffenheim – Borussia M’gladbach17:30 Eintracht Frankfurt – Mainz 0517:30 RB Leipzig – Arminia Bielefeld17:30 Greuther Furth – Augsburg17:30 Bochum – Union Berlin20:30 Hertha – Borussia DortmundSunday 17:30 Freiburg – Bayer 04 Leverkusen19:30 Koln – Stuttgart***odds are subjecto to change
