Robert Lewandowski scored four times, including an injury-time penalty, as Bayern Munich edged out Hertha Berlin 4-3 in the Bundesliga.

Lewandowski had Bayern 2-0 ahead after 51 minutes before Jhon Cordoba (59) and Matheus Cunha (71) restored parity.

Bayern were back in front when Lewandowski completed his hat-trick five minutes from time, but Jessic Ngankam levelled almost immediately with a bullet header.

There was one final twist, however, as Lewandowski was brought down in the first minute of injury time and the Poland striker converted for the most dramatic of wins.

Augsburg extended their unbeaten start to the season to three matches by holding winless Wolfsburg to a goalless draw.

Serie A: Napoli no-show at Juve

Sports photographers wait on October 4, 2020 at the Juventus stadium in Turin, prior to the Italian Serie A football match Juventus vs Napoli,

Juventus' Serie A game with Napoli descended into farce as the visitors failed to turn up after their squad was placed in isolation.

Napoli did not travel to Turin after two positive coronavirus tests at the club and now face being handed a 3-0 loss by Serie A.

The local health authority in Naples released a statement on Sunday afternoon insisting "there were not the necessary conditions to allow for Napoli to travel in full safety".

Serie A had earlier stated that Napoli could not prove their inability to play the game and refused to call the game off.

In bizarre circumstances, Juventus' players arrived at the Allianz Stadium around an hour before kick-off.

A few minutes later, the club's starting XI was named through their official social media account, the team including Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey and Cristiano Ronaldo.
