Lewandowski continued his fantastic form as he struck twice in the first half to make it eight goals in his last six matches.

Franck Ribery added another in the 56th as Bayern found minimal resistance from their toothless opponents.

Bayern moved up to second place in the Bundesliga as they continued their rise after a slow start to the season.
