Bundesliga top scorers 2019-2020: Robert Lewandowski extends lead over Timo Werner in Golden Boot race

Bayern Munich star Robert Lewandowski leading the Bundesliga goalscoring charts is a very familiar sight following the German top-flight's return this weekend.

The prolific former Borussia Dortmund striker has claimed top-scorer honours in four of the last six seasons, with only Alexander Meier and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang able to interrupt such a dominant run during that time.

And Lewandowski remains on track for another Torjägerkanone prize in 2019/20 as the Bundesliga became the first major European football league to resume behind closed doors following the coronavirus-enforced shutdown.

The Poland captain has now notched 26 times in just 24 league appearances after dispatching a penalty in Bayern's 2-0 win at Union Berlin, with a further 14 goals across other competitions taking his tally to a ludicrous 40 in 34.

Lewandowski suffered a tibia fracture before football's hiatus as Bayern ran out 3-0 winners over Chelsea in their Champions League last-16, first-leg tie at Stamford Bridge in February, but was fit to play a key role at Stadion An der Alten Försterei on Sunday.

His goal against Union extended the advantage over RB Leipzig frontman and noted Liverpool transfer target Timo Werner, who remains on 21 goals after failing to net in the 1-1 draw against Freiburg.

Meanwhile, England forward Jadon Sancho was limited to a substitutes' cameo in the 4-0 Revierderby thumping of Schalke as Erling Haaland continued his incredible run with a 10th goal in nine Bundesliga outings since a high-profile January switch from RB Salzburg.
