From an Irish perspective, it's probably the worst time for Poland striker Robert Lewandowski to hit a predatory streak of form.

But that's what seems to be happening, as the former Borussia Dortmund forward scored five goals tonight against last year's Bundesliga runners-up Wolfsburg.

And that's not all! Those five strikes came in just nine minutes second half minutes.

Incredibly, Lewandowski, who will face Ireland next month in a crucial Euro 2016 qualifier, only entered the field of play as a half-time substitute as Bayern trailed 1-0 at home.

But from the 51st minute to the 60th minute, he unleashed a volley of goals to turn a deficit into a rout.

And the match is not over yet!
