Bayern crush Salzburg 6-2 to create it 14 Champions League wins in a row
Bayern Munich originated from behind to crush RB Salzburg 6-2 with two goals from Robert Lewandowski on Tuesday, stretching their record winning run in the Champions League to 14 consecutive games and leading their group by five points after three games.
The Bavarians, who've won five titles in 2020 including the Champions League, went behind after only four minutes when Mergim Berisha was left completely unmarked inside box to beat goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Bayern quickly bounced back and Serge Gnabry had his shot cleared off the line before their top scorer Lewandowski levelled with a 21st minute penalty.
Salzburg defender Rasmus Kristensen then turned a Thomas Mueller cross into his own net one minute before the break.
The hosts came near an equaliser immediately after the restart but Neuer got his fingertips to Enock Mwepu's shot to turn it wide. The Bayern keeper was beaten in the 66th minute, however, when Masaya Okugawa fired Salzburg level.
Despite a string of chances for the home side, it was Bayern who scored again in a strong finish with Jerome Boateng powering in a header from Joshua Kimmich's corner in the 79th and Leroy Sane scoring with a properly curled shot four minutes later.
Lewandowski headed his second goal in the 88th and Lucas Hernandez drilled in a sixth in stoppage time to lift Bayern to nine points in Group A before second-placed Atletico Madrid.
Lokomotiv Moscow, who drew 1-1 in the home to Atletico, are third on two, with Salzburg in last place on one.
