Lewandowski's Double Saves FC Bayern

Even the mighty Bayern München had trouble claiming all drei Punkte from this one.

Hamburger SV had will but not the way, as the Budesliga's pacemakers showed why yet again, 1-2.

The winter break may have partially frozen the Bavarians' staggering run of form, but even when they're not at their best, the result is still the same more often than not.
