BERLIN (AP) — Robert Lewandowski scored twice as Bayern Munich came from behind to beat bottom side Greuther Fürth 4-1 in the Bundesliga. The Poland star took his league-leading tally to 28 goals in 23 games and helped Bayern stay six points ahead of Borussia Dortmund. Fürth captain Branimir Hrgota fired the competitive underdogs ahead in the 42nd minute.

Dortmund thrashed Borussia Mönchengladbach 6-0. Relegation-threatened Hertha Berlin hosts Leipzig later Sunday
