European wrap: Lewandowski equals another Gerd Muller record

Robert Lewandowski equalled another Gerd Muller record by reaching 30 Bundesliga goals in a season for the fifth time in his career during Bayern Munich's 4-0 win over Union Berlin.

The prolific Poland hitman, whose 43 Bundesliga goals in the 2021 calendar year broke Muller's record of 42 that had stood since 1972, took his tally to 31 goals for the current campaign with a smart brace, with Kingsley Coman and Tanguy Nianzou also on the scoresheet.

Mainz were also convincing winners as they dispatched struggling Arminia Bielefeld 4-0, slotting home three penalties in 14 minutes in a facile victory.

Jonathan Burkardt, Moussa Niakhate and Marcus Ingvartsen all converted spot-kicks in the closing stages.

Forward Burkardt had earlier opened the scoring in the first minute, as Mainz solidified their mid-table status.

Niklas Stark, Ishak Belfodil and Lucas Tousart wrapped up a straightforward 3-0 win for Hertha Berlin over Hoffenheim, while Tiago Tomas' late effort handed Stuttgart a last-gasp 3-2 win over Augsburg.

Andre Hahn and Michael Gregoritsch had Augsburg 2-1 up at the break, with Waldemar Anton replying for hosts Stuttgart.

Omar Marmoush put Stuttgart back on level terms heading into the closing stages, before Tomas snatched the win.

Greuther Furth and Freiburg played out a goalless draw.

Ismael Bennacer handed AC Milan a 1-0 win at Cagliari to keep the Rossoneri top of Serie A, three points ahead of second-placed Napoli.

Victor Osimhen [above] scored his second brace in as many matches to spearhead Napoli's 2-1 win over 10-man Udinese.

Nigeria hitman Osimhen took his season's tally to 15 in all competitions, adding his brace on Saturday to the match-winning double at Verona last weekend.
