Robert Lewandowski hits two as Bayern Munich win Bavarian derby

Robert Lewandowski's clinical finishing steered Bayern Munich to a 3-1 win at Bavarian rivals Augsburg that restored the side's eight-point lead in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

Lewandowski scored two goals, starting with the visitors' first real chance in the 15th minute when he controlled Thomas Muller's cross with his right foot, turned with a left-foot touch and fired the ball inside the far post with his right.

Lewandowski made it 2-0 - his 21st of the season - with his second in the 62nd minute, picking his spot in the far corner after Thiago Alcantara played a perfect 30-yard pass into his path.

Muller sealed it on 78 minutes with Bayern's third before Raul Bobadilla eluded three defenders to score Augsburg's consolation four minutes from time.

Bayern players took to the pitch wearing T-shirts with Holger Badstuber's name and number on their backs and "We're with you. You'll manage it again" written on their fronts, following the defender's latest serious injury. Badstuber was ruled out for three months after fracturing his ankle in training on Saturday.

Earlier, Ivo Ilicevic came off the bench to secure a 3-2 victory for Hamburg over Borussia Monchengladbach that ended his side's run of six league games without a win.

"We got three points, no more and no less, but it was a very, very important win," said Hamburg coach Bruno Labbadia, whose side moved six points clear of the relegation zone.

United States international Fabian Johnson put visiting Monchengladbach ahead in the 14th minute, converting Thorgan Hazard's cross from close range for his fifth goal of the season.

An own goal from Martin Hinteregger drew the home side level in the 38th minute after Hamburg defender Cleber struck the crossbar and Mahmoud Dahoud cleared Emir Spahic's effort off the line. Gideon Jung fired the rebound back in and the unlucky Hinteregger defected it inside the left post.

Hamburg striker Artjoms Rudnevs then made it 2-1 three minutes later, pouncing on a long kick from goalkeeper Rene Adler.

Ilicevic sealed the win in the 80th minute, heading home from close range after Spahic headed on a corner.

There was still time for Raffael to score 'Gladbach's consolation two minutes from time.
