Robert Lewandowski has equalled the record set by Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after scoring in eight successive Bundesliga matches.
Poland legend Lewandowski, 31, rose well to head home Bayern’s equaliser against Augsburg on Saturday after the German giants fell behind inside 30 seconds.
It was Lewandowski’s 12th league goal of the campaign and ensures he has now got on the scoresheet in the opening eight Bundesliga games of the season.
Aubameyang did the same for Borussia Dortmund in 2015.
Lewandowski could make Bundesliga history next weekend as no player has ever scored in the first nine matches of a season. Bayern face Union Berlin on Saturday.
Aubameyang has established himself as one of Arsenal’s best players since leaving Dortmund last year, scoring 49 goals in 75 appearances for the Gunners.
The 30-year-old has enjoyed a superb start to the 2019-20 campaign, netting eight goals in ten matches.
Arsenal, who are currently fifth in the Premier League table, face Sheffield United on Monday evening and Unai Emery said: ‘It will be a tough game.
‘We have challenges every day, we have challenges when we are playing matches and we have them collectively.’
